Death, Dying & Channel 5

[Verse 1]
The reaper walks down your avenue
He likes to stop in when you don't know what to do
Hope you've got nothing planned today
And somewhere you swear you remember you heard someone say

[Chorus 1]
Today's a good day to die
So says that actor down on Channel 5
When you're just about living, you're just about dying
And it's all the same thing
When you're just about living, you're just about dying
And they're both the same thing

[Verse 2]
"You're looking down in Kansas," he said
Well, it's hard to look thrilled when you're half past dead
So the little boy has to kill himself
So mom and dad can put more food on their shelf

[Chorus 2]
And today's a good day to die
So they say on that movie down on Channel 5
When you're just about living, you're just about dying
And it's all the same thing
When you're just about living, you're really dying
They are both the same thing

[Bridge 1]
Maybe we're just waking up to die anyway
Maybe we're just waking up to die
I knew a man, he had a girl
They built a big house in a big old world
And now she looks at him with a tear stained face
Maybe we're just waking up to die anyway
Maybe we're just waking up to die
He had two jobs and he was never home
And when he came back she'd still be in bed alone
Looking at him with a tear stained face
Maybe we're just waking up to die just in case
Maybe we're just waking up and want to try

[Verse 3]
The reaper walks down my alleyway, he drops right in
When I don't know what to say
If you're the rainy day man, then go away
And come again some other day

[Chorus 3]
It's not such a good day to die today
I turned off the man on Channel 5 anyway
When you're just about living, you're just about dying
And it's all the same thing
When you're just about living, you're just about dying
And they're both the same thing

[Outro]
Maybe we're just waking up to try anyway
Maybe we're just waking up to try
