Always fast asleep in the middle of the day They talk soft at my bedside, now, either way Fill out the paperwork It’s just another little form Each policy has its benefits But some claims aren’t covered anymore
I’ll pay the blood test money
Heavy premium I had to quit my job Don’t want to sponge off the government But I’m coughing blood I met the specialist who will decide my fate She smiled down at my X-ray Said I’m an ideal candidate But you got to understand It’s not part of the plan It’s good news but you’re not out of the woods You got to wait your turn boy Be careful what you earn And we’ll call you back
Just try and stay strong honey
Always wide awake in the middle of the night Follow my friends through the telephone But it isn’t life Feeling incomplete, I got the crossword done I’ll be prepared when they cut me up But I can’t imagine hell or heaven
But I finally understand It’s all out of my hands I lived way longer than they said I would So now I’m taking all your love Like an experimental drug Come by sometime a laugh would do me good We got to let it go boys You know we’re all on hold Until they call you back
