The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh does everybody live inside their heads
I know I do
But will I when I'm dead
Does what go on inside go on
When I'm, dead and gone
Everybody:
When we're dead and gone, oh
When we're dead and gone
Who's gonna love this world like I do
When we're dead and gone
I love to live inside of my rooms
To decorate
To trim and prune
But who's gonna do the things I'm doing
When I'm dead and gone
Everybody:
When we're dead and gone, oh
When we're dead and gone
Will they love this world like you and I do
When we're dead and gone
I worry about these things you see
Whose gonna take care for me
That my garden doesn't go to seed
When I'm dead and gone
Everybody:
When we're dead and gone, oh
When we're dead and gone
Will they love this world like you and I do
When we're dead and gone
Oh, when we're dead and gone, oh
When we're dead and gone
Will they love this world like you and I do
When we're dead and gone
Oh, when we're dead and gone, oh
When we're dead and gone
Who's gonna love this world like I do
When we're dead and gone
