blink
Have another cup of coffee
And then letâs go out on the balcony
And watch the airplanes sink
Hey donât you think
Lifeâs gone by ⦠in a blink
Letâs have another beer or so
Then open up the cellar door
And breathe the basement stink
Hey donât you think
Lifeâs gone by ⦠in a blink
Letâs bottle fruit and corn
Press the cider from the scorn
Just a shrivelled heap of jinx
Hey donât you think
Lifeâs gone by ⦠in a blink
Letâs fire up the afterglow
And the memories burn like toes
And the hurt beams like a sphinx
Hey donât you think
Lifeâs gone by ⦠in a blink
Hey, who am I to thank?
Now Baby, come onâ¦
Hey, who am I to thank?
