All the rats are sleeping The telephone is weeping And all of the world's gone gray Your obituary lied You never died But we had your funeral anyway You've never lived a single day The faster you run The farther the distance The ways of the road wouldn't bow to your insistence So sharpen your mind Before there's nothing left to find You've never lived a single day You've never lived a single day in your life The miserly sun Never remembers If you're gonna shed some blood Then let it flow just like a river Or step to the side You've never lived a single day You've never lived a single day in your life
