Lyrics
I’m Dyin’

Don’t know how I’m missing out
Hiding from the rain when it’s all about
Staying sheltered from the wind that shouts
I’m Dyin’

Can’t remove what I can’t perceive
Can not give what I can’t receive
Defining myself by what I deceive
I’m Dyin
Oooo, I’m Dyin’
Ooooo, I’m Dyin’

Bureaucratic politicians put my mind to sleep
I can’t get up, I can’t make a peep
I can’t climb out, cause I’m in too deep

Eyes are open, but I’ve closed the door
Living on the top of the thirteenth floor
I cannot deny that there isn’t much more
I’m Dyin’

Cancer has taken my heart and soul
Tuberculized my brain and took its toll
Deception was the shovel that dug the hole
I’m Dyin
Oooo, I’m Dyin’
Ooooo, I’m Dyin’

What a heartfelt song - I so hope it's not autobiographical.
This is as good as a Randy Newman song (I hope you take that as a compliment). The instrument choices and playing are spot on (like the funeral organ sound) with great production. I can't truthfully say i enjoyed it but I did definitely feel it.
Cheers
Len

Thanks, Len
It took me a long time to get this one in the can, so I'm pleased that you thought it was worth the effort. I'm thinking about changing the name of the song to "13th Floor."

It's always good to hear from you, thanks for listening and commenting. I appreciate the R. Newman comment.

great song
also like the way you seem to have pushed your voice, it seems to have more edge to it I think. I also think this often happens when you up the pitch a bit. ten out of ten.
