Thinking In Ways

(alexander/naydock)

when I die, call this number
unencumber yourself from the details
the whole thing's bought and paid for
the box, the viewing and one more ride

bought a plot by some azaleas
they never fail to impress in the brochure
see me off at sunset
I hope it's glorious outside

I am thinking in ways
that I never have before
I am counting the days
that I never have before

of course the breakfast will be dinner
your choice of a couple of entrees
you'll meet some real characters
some even I haven't seen in a while

I am thinking in ways
I never have before
I am counting the days
that I never have before

I need you to distribute
everything that I have written down here
they are bits and pieces
of all who made me what I am

drink a few, get to know them
don't forget to tip your waitress
through them you'll know me better
and life is really worth a damn

I am thinking in ways
I never have before
I am counting the days
that I never have before
