When you go, we'll burn your body
And a toxic cloud will rise above this town so dark
So what you got, you got no takers
Think I might take the dogs a walking down my local park
'Cause there'll always be a band to see
A book to read, a game to go to
Songs to write, and pools to swim
And a dog that needs a ball to throw to
So don't go yet, cause we're not ready
we're not finished with you darling by a long shot, no
And when you go, we'll all start drinking
Say it's what you would have wanted, say it's what you would expect
And late that night, we'll get to thinking
It's a mockery, a lottery, just who goes next
And when you're gone, and the tears are finished
Will this town be any different? Will this town be any less?
And will you memory, be diminished?
By the ones who follow after, who could try but never guess.
