So I turned on the radio and everyone was |
|
listening to chicken jazz... |
|
See that man over there... |
|
He's got cold feet |
|
He'd march to the drum |
|
But the drummer's |
|
Dead beat |
|
He's fragile tonight |
|
But he says he's clean |
|
He's uncertain when he's speaking |
|
But he knows what he means |
|
Ah he's shivering now |
|
But he don't look cold |
|
He say |
|
Turn up the weather |
|
So I do as I'm told |
|
Do you know about empty |
|
Die a little inside |
|
Cos he hasn't lived until he's died |
|
You couldn't have lived until you've tried |
|
He hasn't lived until he's died |
|
The Little Death... |
|
See that woman over there |
|
She got cold feet |
|
She'd march to the drum |
|
But the drummer's |
|
Dead beat |
|
She reach for the sky |
|
But the sky turn black |
|
She hanging by her nails |
|
but her knuckles just cracked |
|
She said, "It's strange but nice to have no |
|
future or past |
|
If you can't stand the heat |
|
you just turn up the gas" |
|
I nod as if I know she can't say I haven't tried |
|
Cos she hasn't lived until she's died |
|
you couldn't have lived until you've tried |
|
She hasn't lived until she's died |
|
The Little Death... |
