Long Time Dead

It's a brand new day
Raise your eyes to the morning sky
Just don't forget to make it count and here is why
We have finite time
Spend it wisely while you can
Because today might be the end of all your plans

We are fugitives, temporary
We're just visiting, transitory
Make the most of it while you can 'cos
You're a long time dead son
Keep on living while you breathe

So don't procrastinate
Time won't wait around for you
So take your chances as they come, don't think it through
Trust your gut sometimes
You might not always get it right
But doing nothing leads to nothing leads to night

We are fugitives, temporary
We're just visiting, transitory
Make the most of it while you can 'cos
You're a long time dead son
Keep on living while you breathe

There's no instruction list
No examination test
We make it up, we get it wrong, we do our best
And the acid test
When you come to take your rest
Is if you know you've lived a life without regrets

We are fugitives, temporary
We're just visiting, transitory
Make the most of it while you can 'cos
It's a one way ticket
Just a single exit
You're a long time dead son
So keep on living while you breathe
Just keep on living while you breathe
