And the sound makes it's way outta the window
Minglin' with the traffic noises outside, you know, an'
All of a sudden I'm overcome by a feelin' of brief mortality
'Cause I'm gettin' on in the world, comin' up on forty-one years
Forty-one stoney gray steps towards the grave
You know the box, awaits it's grissly load
Now, I'm gonna be food for worms
And just like Charles Mingus wrote that beautiful piece-a music
Epitaph for Eric Dolphy
I say, so long Eric, so long, John Coltrane and Charles Mingus
So long, Duke Ellington and Leslie Young
So long, Billie Holliday and Ella Fitzgerald
So long, Jimmy Reed, so long, Muddy Waters
An' so, long Howlin' Wolf
Jason, tell me what you're chasin'
Because the night will never give you what you want
Ooh, Jason, and if you can't escape it
I hope you find whatever you've been looking for
