Lyrics:

Well, today a friend told me this sorry tale as he stood there trembling and

turning pale he said each day's harder to get on the scale sort of like Jacob

Marley's chain.



But it's not like life's such a veil of tears it's just full of thoughts that

act as souvenirs for those tiny blunders made in yesteryears that comprise

Jacob Marley's chain.



Well, I had a little metaphor to state my case it encompassed the condition of

the human race but to my dismay, it left without a trace except for the sound

of Jacob Marley's chain.



Now there is no story left for me to tell so I think I'd rather just go on to

Hell where there's a snowball's chance that the personnel might help to carry

Jacob Marley's chain.
