Transitory Life |
| It’s a good time far bankers and winners and sailors |
| With their stories of jackpots and islands of pleasure |
| They keep their treasures locked in Iron Mountain |
| Locked in Iron mountain |
| They’re sailing through this transitory life |
| They’re moving through this transitory life |
| It takes a Iong time far a mouse to realize he’s in a trap |
| But once he does, something inside him never stops trembling |
| And grandma in the pancake makeup she never wore in life |
| Lies there in her shiny black coffin looks just like a piano |
| She made herself a bed inside my ear |
| She made herself a bed inside my ear |
| And every night I hear |
| We’re sailing through this transitory life |
| We’re moving through this transitory life |
| When the doctor says: congratulations, it’s a boy! |
| Where do aII the dream baby girls, those possible pearls, go? |
| Lorrine and Susan with the brown eyes |
| And lovely Irene and difficult but beautiful Betty |
| And tiny tiny Juanita? |
| They’re sailing through this transitory life |
| They’re moving through this transitory life |
| Afraid to breathe, afraid to rise |
| We run and run in this transitory life |
| Tipped off balance we fall like Iight |
| We land on water in this transitory life |
| We fall like light on water and water turns to ice |
| Everything keeps changing in this transitory life |
| Everything keeps changing in this transitory life |
