Lyrics
Not Quite Dead
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’s time to take up smoking
in a Tom Waits song.
It’s time to see these embers burn out
before too long.
It’s time to see which of these ashes
deserve urns.
It’s time to burn the endings
off our nerves.
We’ve all changed,
but can you feel the flames the same?
