Let me put it to you this way
You will be hit by a truck
You will fall off from your bicyle
And no-one will recall who you were
except your friends and your enemies

And all the stuff you should have written
about times when you've been sick or smitten
Will mean as much to me as your corpse

Let me put it to this way
I've been writing songs for almost 7 years now
And I haven't said a single thing
of lasting import or social significance
And I know from reading all your letters
and late night coffee double headers
that maybe you could do better than me

Let me put it to this way
we will be hit by a truck
and we will die inside an ambulance
and no-one will recall who we are
or I mean who we were
except our friends and our enemies

And all the stuff we could have written
And all the words we could have hidden
will mean about as much as your corpse
