lyrics
I WILL DIE IN YOUR POCKET
Sweet William sweats on a stem,
His eyes upon a pond.
Why must we die all the time
Even when we are like swans?
Dodge citadel and land in Lethe’s lap.
Just picture lilies nap…
Why must we die all the time
Even when we are like whores?
Sweet William sweats on a stem,
His eyes upon a pond
(Ponder the situation.)
Why must we knock all the time
Even when we are like doors?
Why must we knock all the time
Even when we are like whores?
Why must we die all the time
Even when we are like swans?
