beautiful corpse

I was supposed to leave a beautiful corpse
well, I guess they fooled me good
before I died I was the pride 
of my musical neighborhood
I had big dreams of rock star fame
sunk in my half-wit mind
and all the while, life was leaving me. 
far, far behind

never mind
it was fun while it lasted
girls and worlds of fun
with reefer and acid
I had big dreams frock star fame
but you can see how that went
now I'm cutting coupons
and selling instruments for rent
