Extra extra read all about my loss of sanity

I have often wondered what my life 

Really means to me

Wasted days and broken dreams

Let it all slip away from me

And if you pick up the pieces of

A broken man, you'll find a

Fan of the family

Yeah the family



Now you're all alone

In the meadow

Sedate your lonely soul

With the man in the meadow

No need to telephone

When you're out in the meadow

Cause you live your life alone

With the man in the meadow

And me



Saw a friend of mine

Guess he just didn't see me

Looked into his eyes

And he walked right through me

He lived a life of alibies and

Broken ties that set him free 

yeah free



Why'd this dream fade so fast

And why am I lookin' towards the past 

to set me free

From me and my family

Yeah

My family yeah yeah



Set down beside your grave

At peace with God and the holy slave

We're gathered here to shed a tear

And think about our goddamn mortal years

You had your start

You made your mark

And then you turn around

And leave us in the dark, fuck

In the dark



Now you're all alone

In the meadow

Sedate your lonely soul

With the man in the meadow

No need to telephone

When you're out in the meadow

Cause you live your life alone

With the man in the meadow

And me
