I’m painting,
I paint a picture in your mind,
If you’re driving roads to suicide,
I know you can sympathise.

If your love is a cheatin’,
And if you’re blinded by the pain
Your honeymoon in summer is a picnic in the rain...

You’ll be grateful when you’re dead, yeah
You’ll be grateful when you’re dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

I’m shaking,
I shake the spear before your eyes
Well if know your history,
You will read between the lines.

If you’re waiting for a vision,
To illuminate your mind
To leave this world of misery, oh leave it all behind...

You’ll be grateful when you’re dead, yeah
You’ll be grateful when you’re dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.

...When you’re dead
You’ll be grateful when you’re dead, yeah
You’ll be grateful when you’re dead
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba.
...When you’re dead (2 times)

Oh, I’m telling you man,
Jerry was there,
You could feel his presence everywhere (repeat)

Jerry was there,
Jerry was there...
“I seen him man – looked me right in the face.”

Jerry was there.
