Lyrics

DEATH WINKS

When that church bell, he tolls,
Ask him not for whom.
Just eat your jelly rolls
Down in your living room.
Down in your living room.

In that moment we are torn
Between the womb and the tomb,
The dead and the unborn
Both wink at our doom.
Both wink at our doom.

You sleepwalk through your life,
Your destination’s unknown.
Sharing deep talk with your wife,
Whispering, “Other friends have flown.”
“Other friends have flown.”

In that moment we are torn
Between the womb and the tomb,
The dead and the unborn
Both wink at our doom.
Both wink at our doom.

You care nothing for the troubles
That your neighbor is going through.
Now, they’re going to double
And double back on you.
And double back on you.

In that moment we are torn
Between the womb and the tomb,
The dead and the unborn
Both wink at our doom.
Both wink at our doom.
