about

"Poor Beheaded Fool" (1991) is a song about those friends who burn wild and bright and should be cherished when they're around.

lyrics

I saw your days were numbered
The candle almost gone
Dropping too much
Of everything going
Running against the grain

Poor Beheaded Fool
Poor Beheaded Fool

Your friends were on the level
And moved to hold you back
Telling you tales
Of many other people
Buried before their time

Poor Beheaded Fool
Poor Beheaded Fool

Keep Running
Keep Running
Keep Running
The world needs more like you

Your eyes they saw before you
But never looked behind
Maybe that’s the way
That it should be
Kindness in your mind

Poor Beheaded Fool
Poor Beheaded Fool
