RIP: SJM

lyrics

Orange was the color
of the body bag
As they wheeled your body away

Orange like the sun
on that early summer day
Orange like no one was there
to find you for days

Orange like the officer
who took your cat away in a cage
Orange like the books that I lent you
Guess you can keep them now

Lights are on, blinds are open
So we can see, night and day
Your closet filled with all the clothing
You will not wear today

And is this just another song
About how death took us by surprise?
Alcohol and pain pills, probably
Was it such a surprise?

No one was in a hurry
Agents taking their time
No one was in a hurry
Because orange has no rhyme

That's when we all begin to worry
Just like on tv
And only later did I find out
That the stories you had told me
were lies

Orange has no rhyme
Orange has no reason
Orange has no memory
But it seems to be the season

Orange has no rhyme
Orange has no reason
Orange has no conscience
I'll be tuning in next season

Orange don't care
That we didn't get to say goodbye
Orange guess I'll see you down the line
When it's my time

Orange was the color
Of your getaway van
You were so exhausted
So you ran from this life

Orange unpredictable
Orange has no rhyme
Orange takes no holidays
It's orange all the time
