George died in the fifth grade   No one ever knew why   He was out selling lemonade   On the Fourth of July and he died      Sister Claire said that he was   An angel on earth   She stood there and she told us   She had clearly rehearsed every verse      Of the lies that tie you down      I've forgotten my first love   I haven't seen her since when   There's a bum on the corner   He thinks that I'm his best friend, we pretend   He says the rapture is any day   That's when God's coming around   Although perhaps he should stay away   They'll run him right out of town, like a clown      With the lies that tie you down      There are times when a man feels   That it's him against the world   There are times when a man steals   From the love of his girl   There are days when a beast dies   Long before the gun   And there are days when a crow flies   Straight into the sun, to be done
