Lyrics:

Loan shark Mike kicked the bucket
So why worry about the holes in my pockets
So I ran with the quickness
Rather than have to sit in the stillness
Oooooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
Oooooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
Girl you live in a hurry
Life comes at you in a fury
And you got to be something
Well that something turns to nothing
Oooooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
Oooooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
So you worry about my life
And the hours and the time
Could I ever compromise?
And I wonder about your life
Do I ever come to mind?
Did you have to let it die?

Sing a song for the quick and the dead
Oooooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
Oooooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
Oooooooh
Sing a song for the quick and the dead
