The man is painting the window dark, dark red, almost black He stepped away to get a good look at his work But he saw me through so off to painting he went back I am on the telephone with 1-800-GOT-A-CASE-OF-THE-BLUES They hung up on me when I said, "Aren't you?" And someone was complaining about the news I couldn't believe my tired eyes when I saw in the paper Right next to the used cars for sale, it said the working man has died Turns out all of his house inside was painted that dark Dark red from pillows toinside the washing machine People asking all around what's the cause of his death My dear dear mother just lost a high school friend Autopsy said he ate yellow paint with a note saying 'this made me happy instead' Many people thought of him as a mad man consuming toxins like champagne But I have noticed he's smart enough to know the consequence He had found a greater risk and took the small chances he had because he knew There were chances for everything, even a chance of happiness
