Started from the start
Wearing out the headstones
Was the end, was the right
Taking out a life loan
Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross lay behind my head
When taken by the undertaker
No questions anymore
It's higher than the black sky
Get you lower than the floor
Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross looking down on me
Hey, old man
When I'm going six feet down
You gotta make that promise to me
A stained glass cross hanging over me
I was just a young boy
My father sounded crazy
My death he couldn't bear to see
Either joking, sleeping, lazy
Hey, old man
When you're going six feet down
I gotta make that promise to you
A stained glass cross lay behind your head
Hey, old man
When you're going under and down
I made a secret promise to you
A stained glass cross looking down on you
