Hear him on the radio, see him on the news
See him on the TV, y'a hear him sing the blues
Welcome to his nightmare He's been through the mill
Death by misadventure, a case of overkill

He stayed awake till daylight, didn't believe in health
He never saw the sunrise, didn't believe in wealth
Wrote dramatic music, was a rollin' stone
No one understood him, they just left him alone

Hear him on the radio, see him on the news
See him on the TV, hear him sing the blues
Welcome to his nightmare he's been through the mill
Death by misadventure, a case of overkill

Death by misadventure
