Ballad for Alan

Romeo had Juliette
The Montagues the Capulets
Ain't no difference in love or hate when you weigh it out

The Priest he had Jesus Christ
But some loves just can't suffice
On loving out without a body to love in

So he weaved a pretty thread
One would die and one would live
Irony is more wicked than any web a man can weave

When you wake up sometimes your gone
You gotta carry on your Atlas shoulders the weight of worlds
That are heavier then you kneel
It's bound to happen the hub is safe the spokes are where you feel
The vertigo of living and dying by the wheel

Elisa she had a beau and he had her too you know
Ain't no tragedy here worthy of a play
Well they met back in high school
Awkward him and awkward her
Awkward bodies fumbling well you know they got it right

So they mimicked Priest said vows
They'd never let each other down
Fifty years later they got a letter from the state

When you wake up sometimes your gone
You gotta carry on your Atlas shoulders the weight of worlds
That are heavier then you kneel
It's bound to happen the hub is safe the spokes are where you feel
The vertigo of living and dying by the wheel
