lyrics

in the dark and pouring rain
i walk the field of stone
in the torchlight, several names
all but one, is known

a stolen bow upon a boquet
lies upon the unknown
a lie engraved upon the rock
lives in a stolen bowl

callously conscribed, engraved upon the granite
a misnomer of a sobriquet
deliberately designed to confuse and obfuscate
the identity of occupancy of this grave

...it's gone
it's all gone.

gone.

the lies she told us, still remain
we never knew just who she was
some mismatched parts told us a lie
never bothered with corrections

on god, i swear--i meant well
don't mean that i didn't fuck up
i'm not a fuckin' murderer

callously conscribed, engraved upon the granite
a misnomer of a sobriquet
deliberately designed to confuse and obfuscate
the identity of occupancy of my grave...

she's gone
she's gone
gone, gone gone....

she's gone home.

<interviewer>

you're not afraid about death?

<bukowski>

no in fact...I almost feel good at the approach of death

<interviewer>

why?

<bukowski>

all that's okay...but you see as you live many years, things take on a repeat

has that ended? are you ended?

things take on a repeat, you understand?

you keep seeing the same thing over and over again...the same substance. the same action, the same reaction

so you get a little bit tired of life

so as death comes you almost say "okay baby it's time. it's good"

so I know I have very little fear of death. in fact I almost welcome it
