Mr. Ramirez was older than time Half drunk, half blind I used to help him around The house sometimes He paid me in quarters, nickels, and dimes We were neighbors in a past life We were closer than I realized 911, I dialed the call You were the first dead body I ever saw I knocked forever on your front door Then used the key under the mat My intuition had a premonition Calling your name, you didn’t call back Should’ve prepared going up the stairs For what I’d find behind your door You lying in bed with your eyes open You were the first dead body I ever saw Then I collapsed against the wall I couldn’t breathe I was just a kid, barely 13 I saw how it ends, life’s fatal flaw You were the first dead body I ever saw On your porch, I waited and wept SongtexteUnsure of what comes next The coroner came, Mom called me home No one ever laid a tombstone It still haunts the house of my mind Even after all this time You lying in bed with your eyes open You were the first dead body I ever saw Aus Songtexte Mania
