Lyrics
An ancient man grizzled to the bone
This is his last call, this is his last call
His silhouette looks pained and old
He?s all alone, he?s sitting all alone
And it?s written on his face, and it?s written on his face
Things have changed, things have changed, they?ll never be the same
The last thing you wanted was the spotlight on you, I said the last
Thing you wanted was the spotlight on you, he likes the black keys
At just thirty three and Donny?s dead, the cap pushed to the side of his head
A baby face in disguise, they ruled it suicide
The window pane, gently removed from its frame
A song he wrote for himself at last, at fifteen floors and fifteen seconds fast
The last thing you wanted was the spotlight on you
I said the last thing you wanted was the spotlight on you
The first he died with the boots strapped to his feet, he never missed a beat,
The last chord he searched so long for. This dream brother he sang away as the
Angels retreated across the bay, his last chord
The last to fall at just 34, the x?s and the o?s, his tic tac toe a game of ever lows
His songs of escape through splintered lips in the quietest of ways
He hunted himself day after day
The last thing you wanted was the spotlight on you
And underneath tiny, tiny feet, there lies a big man stuck onto his dreams
This is his last chord, the last chord, the last chord.
