let me put it to you this way:
you will be hit by a truck and you will fall from your bicycle
and no-one will recall
who you were, except your friends and your enemies
and all the stuff you could've written
'bout times when you were sick, or smitten
will mean about as much as your corpse
let me put it to you this way:
I've been writing songs for almost 7 years now
and I haven't said a single thing
of lasting import. or social significance
but I know from reading all your letters
and midnight coffee double-headers
that maybe you could do better than me
let me put it to you this way:
you will be hit by a bus, and you will die inside the ambulance
and no-one will recall
who you are (or I mean WERE) except your friends and your relatives
and all the stuff you could've written
and all the words you could've hidden
will mean about as much as your corpse
(ends on )
