Cry for him while he s alive

why must you know, when he will leave
why must you know, what's his motive
why must you know, what he don't know himself
why must you know, whom he used to love
why must you love, what he asked of
why must you know, what's he's silent about

cry for him, while he's alive; love him the way he is today

on a kid's painting, a house with pipe
Barry and Ben meet and say 'Hi'
we cannot get used to live with no strife
flight is the currency used in space,
and at night the crowds prepare for crusades--
she is ready to change to widow from wife

you may have a few words for him to hear
and one of them may even be 'love', my dear--
and you're waiting for the moment, to give him everything 
cold marble's what your flowers are
and it's all coming down, and there's lump in your throat
your face loses shine because of those wrinkles

quiet morning, smog on the town
may's in bloom, head explode--
--every place is good, when we are away
a gallon of beer--what's the water to do?
GMO protein--what's the people to you?
you die today--'oh what a great poet he was!', they will say
