Deathbed

Never knew that breathing was some sort of crime

But I saw it on the news this evening

This guy blew his brains out on the kitchen floor

I think he saw what I'm seeing now

Are we any wiser now?

I see you grasping tomorrow, so far away

Every sunrise is a victory of yesterday

And still you're grasping for tomorrow

We live today, so stay with me

One, two, three, four, five, six

Stop counting years

Get out on the streets, brother

Like coins thrown down a wishing well

This is the only time we got

Make it last

One, two, three, four, five, six

Stop counting the years

Get out on the streets, sister

Like rubies on a mannequin

This is the only time we got

Make it last

Never knew to live we had to stand in line

But I saw it on the bus this morning

This girl took a rope and a chair to living room

She tied to the ceiling lamp

One, two, three, four, five, six

Stop counting years

Get out on the streets, brother

Like coins thrown down a wishing well

This is the only time we got

Make it last

One, two, three, four, five, six

Stop counting the years

Get out on the streets, sister

Like rubies on a mannequin

This is the only time we got

Make it last
