Jacob Marley`s Chain — текст песни (Aimee Mann)

Well, today a friend told me this sorry tale as he stood there trembling and
turning pale he said each day`s harder to get on the scale sort of like Jacob
Marley`s chain.

But it`s not like life`s such a veil of tears it`s just full of thoughts that
act as souvenirs for those tiny blunders made in yesteryears that comprise
Jacob Marley`s chain.

Well, I had a little metaphor to state my case it encompassed the condition of
the human race but to my dismay, it left without a trace except for the sound
of Jacob Marley`s chain.

Now there is no story left for me to tell so I think I`d rather just go on to
Hell where there`s a snowball`s chance that the personnel might help to carry
Jacob Marley`s chain.
