Richard Yanis - Grave in Madison Lyrics

There is a grave in a cemetery in Madison
Where the body of a young man lies who died at 22
A policeman there is a plastic Robocop on his grave
And a plastic gun and a plastic badge live there
They keep their grave clean and Robocop well posed
Now and again someone leaves some fresh flowers there
Sometimes an officer comes to offer prayer
This man was well loved and well respected
I wonder if he knew his life might in the early?
Did he want to be good? Did he know he was a hero?
Did his wife and kids cry when he was gone?
Did he jump for joy when he got to heaven?
There is a grave in a cemetery in Madison
Where the body of a young man lies who died at 22
A policeman there is a plastic Robocop on his grave
And a plastic gun and a plastic badge live there
There's a grave in a cemetary in Madison...
