about

A song about life, death and all the responsibilities between.

lyrics

I sat by the wheels
Watched the world roll on by
People moving past
Not even a glance
As if staring into the sky

Such a peculiar scene
Saw a man there waiting for his dream
And then another was just standing there
Buying a cone of ice cream

And then it dawned on me
The world is what you see
Neither good nor bad
Nor here nor there
It's really a bit crazy

So when the reaper comes for you
Just say "Baby, how do you do?"
Don't run away, make his day
Coz he's got kids to feed too

When he slashes folks to pieces
He's thinking of his illegitimate nieces
How's he gonna feed them?
Coz you know the devil don't pay so well

Such a peculiar scene
Saw a man there waiting for his dream
And then another was just standing there
Buying a cone of ice cream

So let's spare a thought
For dear old Grim
Neither good nor bad
Nor here nor there
He's really a bit crazy

So when the reaper comes for you
Just say "Baby, how do you do?"
Don't run away, make his day
Coz he's got kids to feed too
