[Instrumental intro] [Verse 1] I wake up and I check the date Each morning makes me one day late For all the things I said I'd do at twenty-five Today I'm forty-nine and barely lived my life [Verse 2] The pills I take went from one to four My doctor said there'd soon be more Blue for the heart, white for the head Orange ones to keep me from the dead [Refrain 1] Counting down, counting down Till they put me in the ground [Drop] [Instrumental] [Verse 3] Got me a ten-year calendar today By year six I might be old and gray By year ten I might not even be here Yet I'll keep turning pages every year [Bridge] I bought a cemetery plot on Cypress Avenue Next to an investment banker from nineteen-sixty-two The deed's in my desk drawer beside expired Percocet Some days I drive by there to see what I'm gonna get [Refrain 2] That's just how it goes Everybody knows [Instrumental solo] [Verse 4] My father died at sixty-two At fifty, my grandfather threw His final party in the spring ...I'm forty-nine and counting [Outro] Add a day, subtract a year Do the math, the end is near [Instrumental outro]
