Harry was large, stood six foot four
Had a grotesque face, in his head he fought a war
He lived next door, in the room next to mine
He seldom went out, he preferred to stay inside
Where he`d sing to the stars, through his apartment window
People stopped to hear, from the street below

Will it takes a kinds to make the world go rough
Fate can be so cold
Many faces I`ve seen, many places I`ve been
I`ve never met a man so strange
As Harry Jones

I asked him once, how things were
He said I`m ok, though I`m not so sure
Then he looked in the mirror and began to weep
When I asked what`s wrong, he said I don`t believe
Then he asked me strange, what love was like
I said it`s ok, he bowed his head and cried

Will it takes a kinds to make the world go rough
Fate can be so cold
Many faces I`ve seen, many places I`ve been
I`ve never met a man so strange
As Harry Jones

At Christmas time, he`d decorate the hallways
Sing Yule songs, to pass the time away
Though he went no where and no one came around
This time of year, some happiness he found
When the shotgun blast, shook the pictures on the wall
The stars cried out, for what they saw

Will it takes a kinds to make the world go rough
Fate can be so cold
Many faces I`ve seen, many places I`ve been
I`ve never met a man so strange
As Harry Jones
