This is totally NMH's worst song, in my humble opinion! Good thing it wasn't released! The characteristic ability of the rest of Mangum's songs to turn life, death and decay into things of strange beauty, and reveal them fatalistically as but part of the exquisite complexity of existence, is not present in this song. Just depressing... bah! Anyone could write something like this.
