lyrics

Doctors and gurus of technologies
Working to end the need for eulogies
and they're certain it's coming on soon,
a picturesque remake of the man on the moon
as he comes out on stage one more time.
And he looks just the same as in '79,

It's the first time this joke has been told.
Life isn't worth much when you're getting too old
and you've tired out all of the same repeat gags,
all the cynical looks from above the old bags

of your eyes. We criticize,
but it's rare that we ever remember
the true way that things were before last November,
when we still weren't quite happy with the way
that time flies.

They say “we've finally found
an end to the need to put minds in the ground,
just the body will go,
there's no need for anyone to know

That you've died.
They'd just criticize
But it's doubtful they'll ever remember
the true way that things were before they were embers
and 1's on a screen which will lay in a bed

of lies,
We're mesmerized
By the prospect of never having to lose
the ones that we love, saying “i'll be home soon,”
and knowing that nothing could possibly go wrong,
an ere of mistruth isn't much in a bed of lies
that I'll see and ignore
when I look in your eyes
