The Paper Chase The Sinking Ship the Grand Applause Lyrics

Grandfather burned up to ash and returned to the earth which spawned
This nefarious prank that's controlled by the length of his arms
And the kindred is gathered by coffin and chaplain on his behalf
And a discreet tender man clears his throat, waves his hand following a laugh
And the band plays on

Like a fat baby's birth like a cry and curse at the breathing s___e
While the mother rejoices ten fingers ten toes and a handsome face
And the family is gasping each one can't help asking, "How was it my dear?
