The Living

They get on with life as a electrician,

They're a porky kinda type.

They like tasting wine and mountain biking.

They like to contemplate the living.

But when they start to daydream,

Their mind turns straight to the dead.

 

Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,

I notice the way they think about the dead with a smile,

Curved lips they just can't disguise.

But they think it's the living making their life worthwhile.

Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?

The Living or...

The Dead?

 

They like to use words like 'righteo' and 'juicy.'

They like to use words about the living.

But when they stop their talking,

Their mind turns straight to the dead.

 

Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,

I notice the way they think about the dead with a smile,

Curved lips they just can't disguise.

But they think it's the living making their life worthwhile.

Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?

The Living or...

The Dead?

 

They like to hang out with Liz and Mike.

But when left alone,

Their mind turns straight to the dead.

 

Sometimes I look at them and I look into their eyes,

I notice the way they think about the dead with a smile,

Curved lips they just can't disguise.

But they think it's the living making their life worthwhile.

Why is it so hard for them to decide which they love more?

The Living or...

The Dead?

 

They hate smelly farms and cough mixture.

But they just think back to the dead,

And they're happy once again.
