Gonna cut me in half Count the rings of my past And the lines on my face Count the years I've laid waste And my fingers are rusty gears They used to point straight My feet have become drunken My bony body sways ♪ Gonna cut me in two The good and the true Let the good stay at home Let the true out to roam I don't know what it'll find out there But it hates to be alone I know truth can be so awful But it'll all we truly know ♪ Gonna cut out my heart Gonna feed it to the dog Gonna cut off my head Leave it at the end of your bed These long lives we're promised to These run-on sentences One thing I know for certain We can't out run the dead ♪ Forever seems so far away But forever's just a day away Forever seems so far away But forever's just a day away Forever seems so far away Forever's always a day away Forever seems so far away Forever's just a day away Forever seems so far away Forever's just a day away Forever seems so far away But forever's just a day away Forever seems so far away But forever's just a day away Forever seems so far away But forever's just a day away
