I'll tell you a tale
a conversation from my death bed
Hello, Mark
O David how are you doing doing these days
I'm diein'
But how are you doing with that
Well I've been livin' my whole life in preparation for this, train' myself to die well
so all things considered I can't complain but I will why did my body have to turn on me through my Kidney
Well one thing as you live you are acted upon
I'm callin' you my friend to say my last good bye and let you know that if there is a heaven then I will say hello to your dear mother if they will not let me in then I will write grffity on the pearly gatekeepers
And if there is a hell will you find some way to let me know
Are you askin' me to haunt you?
Well not if you put it that a way
Hell for the flesh or for the spirit?
Which do you think that you may go to?
Well, in the depth of my depression I have starved my spirit damn near to death of the flesh
I am going to miss you David you stood by me through thick and fat and thin to lean my friend have a good death
Thank you Mark it aint so bad you know the last thing I want to do with my last breath is smoke a joint and die with the last puff and then go directly to smoke a joint with God and Satan and work out this whole fight for the soul of man thing
That is it my friend David fight even beyond the grave
Well Mark I have enjoyed the journey that you took with me and now I can go gently into that good night.
