Death & Taxes
I said to the reaper
"Death is too final
What means have you left
To cure this denial?"
The grim visage smiled back
And he said
"Once it's over, that is that"
Don't you know that it all goes black?
I want to live forever but it might be wack
And besides
I'll miss you once you're gone
The reaper said back
"I think it's I kind of funny
Your lives are so short
But you just chase after money
It's just another drug
What you really need is love"
Don't you know that it all goes black?
I want to live forever but it might be wack
And besides
I'll miss you once you're gone
Don't you know that you can't come back
But if you can't calm down you'll have a heart attack
Anyway
And I'll have nothing left to say
Don't you know that it all goes black?
I want to live forever but it might be wack
And besides
I'll miss you once you're gone
"Death is too final
What means have you left
To cure this denial?"
The grim visage smiled back
And he said
"Once it's over, that is that"
Don't you know that it all goes black?
I want to live forever but it might be wack
And besides
I'll miss you once you're gone
The reaper said back
"I think it's I kind of funny
Your lives are so short
But you just chase after money
It's just another drug
What you really need is love"
Don't you know that it all goes black?
I want to live forever but it might be wack
And besides
I'll miss you once you're gone
Don't you know that you can't come back
But if you can't calm down you'll have a heart attack
Anyway
And I'll have nothing left to say
Don't you know that it all goes black?
I want to live forever but it might be wack
And besides
I'll miss you once you're gone
