Into God Knows What (rejoinder)

Mallonee Bill

Take the edge off of the dark days
Blunt doubts cruel knife blade
Steal the sting out of the grave
At that last shovelful of earth
I swear i've never heard a louder curse
Than before they put those digging those away

Chorus:
Let me go down easy...when the box gets shut
Let me go down easy...into god knows what

Well, you know i read the book and i heard the angels 
sing
Heard a few sermons on the road from "a" to "b."
You vanished into thin air swept out of this room
All the good ones leave the party way too soon

Now, i won't need the drink and i won't miss the pills
But, if i could take your locket picture with me? Now, 
there's a cure for what ills
So i'm heading for the neon with this girl who caught my 
eye
And her smile means more at midnight though i could not 
tell you why
