Mantis

Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 15 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.

I found a rusted wrench in the mud and rainI was reminded of my old grand dadWorked hard his whole life, never heard him complain, never saw him once get mad
Days gone past, years wore him down he was loved by everybody, till he laid in the ground
And when I smell a Pall Mall or hear a hot rod ride, I can feel him right there by my side

I saw a cotton dress on a mannequin in the window of a city storeIt brought me back to days past when, I'd never known a love like yours
But summer days end and autumn fell, your love grew ever colder and you wished me wellAnd when I stop to smell the rose or see a star shoot by, I can feel her right there by my side

And If you're ever lonely in the early dawnAnd you're thinking bout the ones who done past onWether they live far away, or under the lawnJust cause they ain't here don't mean they're gone

I saw a teenage punk skating on the stairs it brought me back to the timeWe'd lived our lives without a care getting high on beats & rhymes
But life hit hard and shit got tough, and one day you decided that you'd had enough
When I hear a free flow, or I smell stale beer, bro I know you're right there somewhere near

So if you ever miss me once I've met my endDon't you ever feel the need to shed a tear my friendCause somewhere up the road, and right beyond the bend, I know we'll be together again
Yeah, I know we'll be together again
