It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy He was only 25 Had an open heart and tender mind He sang through all the hymns he knew He was searching for a higher sign When his water was turned to wine All the darkness became light Babies and a patient wife They just weren't enough to keep him high So he gave them up just to fill his cup Every sip would make him feel alive No bones in his body were dried It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy Now he's finally come around He's got wrinkles and a crooked frown He holds back tears thinking of the wounds That the bottle had on your tie down So he'll sit, have another round Singing hallelujah till he drowns Ooooo It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy It's A Tragedy Ooooo Ooooo
