Every word a rhyme

And everything a sign

And cemetery clothes

As pure as driven snow

Watch all the mourners come and go

They'll all go in time

The way that it collides

It comes as no surprise

Sometimes it comes fast

Everybody knows

That's how the story goes

And we all go in time

All night there's been something on my mind

Like somewhere I can hide

When the thief comes

Got a lot of things, yeah

I got a lot of things to leave behind

Why wait? It can't end now, why--

Why wait for the come down

Slip out the back door

You sleep with the fishes

I know it seems malicious

But death won't do your dishes

Oh, let it calm you

If you're cold

I will warm you

You're as pure as driven

As pure as driven snow
