My Marengo - Tellison

Black shoes, white shirt for a funeral

And we carried him down

Our friend

Is not around

And it’s often when you fall asleep

It’s a face in a dream it’s an alkaline beat

And everyone loses sometimes

But not everyone tries again

No one tells you

Things don’t go right much

There’ll be days when you’ve seen enough

And you want it to end

So I will mourn you though I won’t agree

With why you did it and it won’t beat me

No matter how bad the damage you will see

I’ll strive valiantly

Black shoes, black shirt at a party

His bad luck weighs him down

«We all live troubled lives

We all want something more»

So I say «It's getting better» but he don’t see no Marengo

Well you be the General

And I’ll be Napoleon

No one tells you

Things don’t go right much

There’ll be days when you’ve seen enough

And you want it to end

So I will mourn you though I won’t agree

With why you did it and it won’t beat me

No matter how bad the damage you will see

I’ll strive valiantly

My Marengo

So I will mourn you though I won’t agree

With why you did it and it won’t beat me

Though it’s hopeless and tragic

And though I’m ceaselessly panicked

No matter how bad the damage you will see

I’ll strive valiantly
