Huh! Watch the way the wind blows...See it in the morning light
Isn’t it how life goes...leave before you’re ready to die
Watchin’ the storm grows...see it on the eve-ning
News, listen as the song grows
Probably would be better if I shut my eyes...shut my eyes

Another situation...layin’ out in front of me
Crummy aggravation...mixes with my mornin’ cof--ee
Read it in the paper..(then it) parks itself in my-drive
Way--overturns my table
Probably would be better if I left it today

Chorus
Don’t you see it all around you, little whispers, death and
Life--always hanging by a whisker, never missed her, say its
Nice--now you’re in forever, but a vapor, are you gonna be
Fine, nothin’ lasts forever as you make your way to check out time...check out time

Verse

Huh! Crushing situations...opening all over the world
Happy conversations...did you hear alot about that girl?
Lived a night of terror...see the horror in her eyes
Wishin’ for a Savior
Probably would be better if she ran away the first time

Bridge

Think on forever--seems to be a very long time
Life ain’t forever---someday gonna cross that line
Hear someone callin’ me--whispers my name
Death will come knockin’--am I sure I got just what it takes to takes to have a winning ending? (BREAK-Guitar Lick)

Verse
Coulda been an old man...all except that speeding car
Left me in a bad mess...wife and kids behind me we are
Separated equal...fifty fifty life and death
Never be a sequel..
Probably would be better if you never tell the kids

Solo

Chorus

Don’t you see it all around you, little whispers, death and
Life--always hanging by a whisker, never missed her, say its
Nice--now you’re in forever, but a vapor, are you gonna be
Fine, nothin’ lasts forever as you make your way to check out time...check out time
