Thank you mister ray
And thank you johnny
You made my day
You made it funny
Hell
Amen sister ray
In darkness kneeling
Say billy gray
Say that you're feeling
Well
After the transformation
And the fall from grace
After the criminalization
Of the human race
I know my future
Will not be blank
Though I may be crazy
Mad as a crank
You can wager on that
Take it to the bank
Cause I left the boat
Before it sank
And I spilled the drink
That Socrates drank
And I made my friends
Before they stank
I'm shouting hosannas
And offering thanks
To comfort myself
My future's not blank
Bless you uncle dick
And bless you peter
We had our kicks
Passed out in the theatre
Aisles
Adieu darling jim
Vaya con dios
Outlook is grim
Forecast more of those
Smiles
After the revelation
Transcendant sublime
Comes sweet inspiration
Generous and kind
And I know my future
Will not be blank
Though I think I'm crazy
Mad as a crank
You can wager on that
Take it to the bank
Cause I left the boat
Before it sank
And I spilled the drink
That Socrates drank
And I made my friends
Before they stank
I'm singing hallelujah
And offering thanks
To comfort myself
My future's not blank
