Lyrics

EARL IS GONE
HE BUILT THIS HOUSE
HE BUILT IT STRONG HE NEVER PLANNED TO LEAVE
HE BUILT THE HOUSE
THE BANKER DIDN’T SHOW AMONGST THE SAD BEREAVED
HE WORKED HIS JOB
HE PAID HIS BILLS
HE SET ASIDE SOME CASH FOR GLORY DAYS
HE GOT A CALL
BOUGHT A PENSION PLAN THEN RAN THE NUMBERS MAZE
LOST IN A NUMBERS MAZE
HE WAS LEFT ALONE
WHEN HE WAS YOUNG
HE WAS GIVEN LIFE BUT NOT HER TIME BACK THEN
SHE TOOK HER OWN
SHE COULDN’T FEEL OR FIND A WAY TO STAY WITH MEN
LOST IN A NUMBERS MAZE
