Over
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.
it ain't over til it's over
just like some joker said
when it's over it is done
and when it's done it's as good as dead
when it's good it sure is good
yes and when it's good it's great
when it's great it's oh so wonderful
but when it ain't it ain't
it sucks when it's over
and you can't get it back
why do we all want to
like a pack of necrophiliacs
when the fat lady sings
it's all been sung
collect up your belongings
and clear the auditorium
it was fun while it lasted yes it was
it was fun while it lasted
now it's all turned to dust
it was fun while it lasted i must say
it was fun while it lasted
now it's all blown away
everything blows away someday
everything turns to dust
big ol' mountains do
as well as everyone of us
and i love the dust
