Reaper
Cigarette money, Salem Gold
Be nothing left of my lungs when I'm old
It's just a few rides around the sun
We won't remember a thing when we're done
I fear the reaper
Fear the reaper it's coming to eat ya
Peacekeeper
We were kids with a different demeanour
I glimpsed your truth, in the fountain of our youth
On a long walk home
Over the brook, by the Black and Blue
Through the American Feverfew
Down an empty road
Summer nights at Surprise View Cliff
I was the lakebed and you were the skiff
We were drowning in shallow waters
We were somebody's sons and their daughters
Did you hear Garnett got married
I heard through a friend of a friend
Sad but true
I picture him saying vows in a church
Oh if only he knew what I knew
He'd change the gears while we would drink and drive after school
Do you fear the reaper?
Fear the reaper, I do
And do you feel sick when we talk about how we were when we were kids?
'cause I do
Somewhere beneath, buried deep, is that version of me that I knew
And you knew
We would get high, we would get high
After school
Do you fear the reaper?
Fear the reaper, I do
I glimpsed your truth in the fountain of our youth
On a long walk home
Over the brook, by the Black and Blue
Through the American Feverfew
Down an empty road
Down an empty road
Fear the reaper
Fear the reaper, I do
Down an empty road
Fear the reaper
Fear the reaper
Be nothing left of my lungs when I'm old
It's just a few rides around the sun
We won't remember a thing when we're done
I fear the reaper
Fear the reaper it's coming to eat ya
Peacekeeper
We were kids with a different demeanour
I glimpsed your truth, in the fountain of our youth
On a long walk home
Over the brook, by the Black and Blue
Through the American Feverfew
Down an empty road
Summer nights at Surprise View Cliff
I was the lakebed and you were the skiff
We were drowning in shallow waters
We were somebody's sons and their daughters
Did you hear Garnett got married
I heard through a friend of a friend
Sad but true
I picture him saying vows in a church
Oh if only he knew what I knew
He'd change the gears while we would drink and drive after school
Do you fear the reaper?
Fear the reaper, I do
And do you feel sick when we talk about how we were when we were kids?
'cause I do
Somewhere beneath, buried deep, is that version of me that I knew
And you knew
We would get high, we would get high
After school
Do you fear the reaper?
Fear the reaper, I do
I glimpsed your truth in the fountain of our youth
On a long walk home
Over the brook, by the Black and Blue
Through the American Feverfew
Down an empty road
Down an empty road
Fear the reaper
Fear the reaper, I do
Down an empty road
Fear the reaper
Fear the reaper
