Fill your years full of cheer
You never know when it could end
Hold your daughters, hold your sons
Hold your lover, don't come undone
Cause Kennedy, he was smiling when a hole burst through his head
He didn't know, he didn't know
He didn't know that he was dead
He didn't know, he didn't know
He didn't know it was the end
He didn't know
Oh, Abraham was entertained
He sat watching from a seat up there
He had no fear, he had no fear
He took down demons in the night
Oh Abraham, he was smiling when a hole burst through his head
He didn't know, he didn't know
He didn't know that he was dead
He didn't know, he didn't know
He didn't know it was the end
He didn't know
Lest a thief come in the night
Will you hold your darlings tight
Oh, please Lord, lay me down
In my sleep my soul do keep
Cause I didn't know, I was smiling when a hole burst through my head
I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know that I was dead
I didn't know, I didn't know
I didn't know it was the end
I didn't know
