| The doctor says I’m dying
|
| I die a little every day
|
| But he’s got no prescription that could
|
| Take my death away
|
| The doctor says it don’t look so good
|
| It’s terminal
|
| Some folks die in offices one day at a time
|
| They could live a hundred years
|
| But their soul’s already dying
|
| Don’t let your spirit die before your body does
|
| We’re terminal, we’re terminal
|
| We’re terminal
|
| We are, we are the living souls
|
| With terminal hearts, terminal parts
|
| Flickering like candles, shimmering like candles
|
| We’re fatally flawed, we’re fatally flawed
|
| Whenever I start cursing at the traffic or the phone
|
| I remind myself that we have all got cancer in our bones
|
| Don’t yell at the dead, show a little respect
|
| It’s terminal, it’s terminal
|
| «Earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust
|
| For our days here are like grass
|
| We flourish like a flower of the field
|
| The wind blows and it is gone
|
| And its place remembers it no more
|
| Naked we came from our mother’s womb
|
| And naked we will depart
|
| For we bring nothing into the world
|
| And we take nothing away
|
| For we bring nothing into the world
|
| And we take nothing away»
|
| We are, we are the living souls
|
| With terminal hearts, terminal parts
|
| Flickering like candles, shimmering like candles
|
| We’re fatally flawed in the image of God |
