lyrics

If today don't kill me
Then tomorrow might
It'll take till the morning
Take another night
My limbs are spaghetti
And my mind ain't right
But I'm reaching the end
Of this terrible fright

Well it starts all slow like
As it creeps up your legs
And when it's chewed through them
It gets to your head
You'll think that your righteousness
Absolves you your debt
But I don't think you know
Where they put the nets

And I think you're forgetting
You still gotta eat the breeze
Smell the roses, kick shit
And stand on your feet
That's the mean thing about it
Is there's no way to cheat
You booked the appointment
Strap into the seat
A fright has shingled me
Hanged me up loose
Juiced up and droopy
All wrinkled and wry
A fright has shingled me
Banged me up good
Could use something hearty
Gold, neat and dry

Now up jumped the Swagman
And there went the cops
And they whipped him and flogged him
For touching the crops
I tell you young children
They sure showed him what
The law protects
And who it does not
Well I heard once that
There's three paths to life
One for the mean ones
Two for the kind
Well where that don't translate
Is when it comes to dyin'
Cause we all take that mistake
And step through the light
