lyrics

I am dead, so are you
Nothing left for us to do
We were killed by father time
For an existential crime

All my life I have wondered
How will I meet my fate?
What should I do in the meantime?
Am I happy or irate?

I know how the movie ends
I have seen the final page
Mystery in middle chapters
Curtains on the theater stage

You are dead, so am I
There's no reason not to cry
Just a mess of flesh and bones
Tweeting farewells on our phones

You are dead, so am I
So we might as well get high
High on life while we still can
From the fire to the frying pan

They are dead, so are we
Let's agree to disbelieve
You have only grains of sand
And a pass to no man's land

You were once a beauty queen
In a fashion magazine
Had the world caught on a string
20 carat wedding ring

You may long for cash in hand
A million dollar concert grand
When you take the witness stand
You will start to understand

You are dead, so am I
There's no reason not to try
You're just a mess of flesh and bone
Tweeting farewells on your phone
