He died in his apartment
He died alone
Rarely saw his son
They talked on the phone
His rent was due
They opened his door
They found Jim Colyer
Dead on the floor
The Death Of Jim Colyer
Was no big deal
Everybody dies
Some get killed
The Death Of Jim Colyer
Was a minor event
Nobody cared
He had no friends
Must've been heart failure
Natural cause
They cleaned up the mess
Buried the corpse
He died at 70
On his birthday
Threescore and ten
Like the Bible says
The Death Of Jim Colyer
Was no big deal
Everybody dies
Some get killed
The Death Of Jim Colyer
Was a minor event
Nobody cared
He had no friends
Maybe he went
Into the light
Hooked up with God
That night
The Death Of Jim Colyer
Was no big deal
Everybody dies
Some get killed
The Death Of Jim Colyer
Was a minor event
Nobody cared
He had no friends
