\"Goin'<\/p>\n

Damn.<\/p>\n

My pals have been shuffling off this mortal coil faster than I can recover my equilibrium, here.<\/p>\n

I guess I shouldn’t have been so <\/span>surprised, Ben had been in the hospital a month or two ago with congestive heart failure. Still, though there’s not much about congestive heart failure<\/span> that sounds like a walk in the park, it seemed like things were coming back together.<\/p>\n

It looked like he’d even be going back to the work he loved: animation. He’d talked to Nickelodeon and it looked like they would be hiring him for a new project.<\/p>\n

But it wasn’t to be.<\/p>\n

Still, thing were looking<\/span> up. He slipped into unconsciousness at his home and passed away not long after.<\/p>\n

Damn.<\/p>\n

Damn, damn, damn<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n

Goin’ Home<\/b><\/p>\n

Wake up baby<\/span>
\nturn your light down low…<\/span>
\nI want ta see your pretty face
\none more time before I go<\/p>\n

They’re coming for me in the morning<\/span>
\ncoming to take me home…<\/span>
\nWhen you see that light in the sky
\nthat’s when you know I’m going home<\/p>\n

[bridge]<\/p>\n

When you see that light in the sky <\/span>
\nthat’s when you know I’m going home…<\/span>
\nDon’t try to call me baby
\ncause they ain’t got no telephone
