Beowulf Kingsley - Whistling In The Graveyard Lyrics

I can hear an angel snickering from the high Etheric Plane
'Cause whenever I try to scale those peaks,
Yeah, I get knocked down again
And if I turn on my TV just to catch the evening news
There's a guy in a suit saying there's no doubt
That all of us are screwed

Oh, there's times I really wonder why I get out of bed at all
Maybe I should go back to being lost
In the joys of alcohol
If I curl up like a pillbug, well, it won't assuage the pain
Sometimes it seems I prefer my dreams
To facing the world again

It's not like I haven't been in the dark,
As I'm walking on through the night
What's keeping me going's just the hope
That it might turn out all right
I might be whistling in the graveyard,
But I hope you like the tune

You get no argument from me when you say that the world's a mess
But there's cats and there's kids and there's music
They're pretty cool, I guess
And if there's anything I can do that lifts one person off the ground
Then I might feel better when it's time to go
And I'm finally not around

It's not like I haven't been in the dark,
As I'm walking on through the night
What's keeping me going's just the hope
That it might turn out all right
I might be whistling in the graveyard,
But I hope you like the tune
