| Oh, somewhere down the road
|
| Well, there’s a ditch or there’s a hole
|
| That marks the spot where you will lie when you are cold
|
| And you can run and you can hide
|
| And you can bitch and you can whine
|
| But you’ll never save your life
|
| When you meet death, be out of breath
|
| And say you’re pleased to see him 'cause you’re tired
|
| Now you can go down with the wreck
|
| Or you can scurry from the deck
|
| But there’s no way to save your skinny little neck
|
| And you can pray to who you please
|
| And you can fall down on your knees
|
| But your feet will still get wet
|
| When you meet death, be out of breath
|
| And say you’re pleased to see him 'cause you’re tired
|
| Of wondering how much time you’ve got left
|
| Of worrying that you’re no good at chess
|
| It’s your funeral anyway
|
| Choose your game
|
| Then let’s play
|
| Yeah, when you meet death, be out of breath
|
| And say you’re pleased to see him
|
| In fact you’re waiting for this meeting
|
| And well, frankly his time-keeping leaves a lot to be desired
|
| So tell that hooded huckster that he’s fired |
