The Big Drag

Before James died he smiled and laughed

'Cause he was just photographed for the last time

While it was drowned the kitten purred

At least that’s what I thought I heard

But maybe that’s 'cause I need to believe in the absurd

Ashes to ashes after the planet crashes

I trust all dust will turn to dust

I used to think a wasted life was not a crime

That’s before I realized we don’t have very much more time

My melodies are maladies my poetries are just phonetic

Trying to make sense of this world is preposterous pathetic

The Gods have had their fun playing this world but now it’s too upsetting

The human race is not worth watching or wagering on

We're just a longshot, an underdog with odds so bad now it's just a blood letting

So, every deity with dignity has just stopped betting

So, follow me into a world of anything you've ever dreamed

Now that morality is blurred if you listen really closely

You probably believe in every single word

Mesmerized by rhetorical and memorized historical events that never actually occurred

We're not blind were bound and blinded our minds have been land minded

And I'm so excited

Every single person on this planet thinks they are right

'Cause if you thought that you were wrong

You’d change your mind fuck from black to white

I do believe in True Romance

So, I’m gonna dance and fight and fuck with every moment

I’ll always have something in my glass to raise

To make a toast for those making the most of the last days

Nothing is ever gonna change, nothing will ever be ok

Nothing is ever gonna change, nothing will ever be ok

There’s only a finite number of tomorrows

And it’s not a lot but it’s all we really got, it’s all we really got

Live each precious moment that we can manage to carve out of each day

So, when it’s time for us to die we’ll say our short goodbye

There is no sadness if there's no one left to cry
