The Death of Jimmy Sturgis Lyrics

Everybody needs somebody long and gone
Everybody needs somebody long and gone

High on fire
Dressed to kill
Immersed in the mire, developing gills
He drinks and smokes
Like an egg and yoke
Spent the money on the honey
And now it's gone
He put his money in a hit-man's
To get it done

As she crept into the bed, forbidden,
He saw her there
Two dogs lying dead, had it coming
If all is fair

But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright
But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright

High on sin
Dressed to kill
In the basement, he counts b***** bills
Into the streets, at night,
The fire spills
It all burns his name
From the Will

But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright
But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright

Everybody needs somebody long and gone
Everybody has somebody who's done them wrong
I know somebody who needs somebody long and gone
I know somebody who makes somebody long and gone
Jimmy Sturgis pushed his luck too far
He's at the bottom of the river
In the trunk of his car
Will he learn?
No he never will
He's 30 leagues under, developing gills

But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright
But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright

But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright
But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright

Blunt decision
No, it wasn't hard
Wrote his number on a business card that said, it read:
Everybody

Everybody needs somebody long and gone
Everybody has somebody who's done them wrong
I know somebody who makes somebody long and gone
I know somebody who needs somebody long and gone
The bed was soiled
Dark shades of red
Yet another man in her bed

He drinks and smokes
Like an egg and a yoke
"That b****** had it comin"
Yeah, that's no joke

But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright
But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright

But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright
But I feel OK, I feel alright
I feel OK, I feel alright

High on sin
Developing gills
Immersed in the mire
Dressed to kill
Control his temper?
No, he never will
No, he's dressed to kill

Everybody needs somebody long and gone
