lyrics

He wakes up to a warm wind breeze
Shakes and sweats from his disease
He hopes to die with some dignity
Has a living will from A to Z
A Day in Normal, Illinois
No way to live
A day in Normal, Illinois
Normal No More
The house he built so tall was dust
Red heated flames were much too much
The films and pictures all went up
Like the ones he loved and could not touch
A Day in Normal, Illinois
No way to live
A day in Normal, Illinois
Normal No More
The dress he wore was low strapped tied
He's worn it since they day she died
The closet shared his place to hide
Mascara black runs from his eyes
A Day in Normal, Illinois
No way to live
A day in Normal, Illinois
Normal No More
