I woke up on a cold floor

Then Dana came up to me and told me

That I should be ashamed of myself

Y'know everything's borrowed

In these fragile lives of ours, at least

That's what they told me

I watch sunsets from level-six

Of the parking complex next to Ralph's

The car is never far

You know it's not really mine

Well I guess it is until death

She handed me the documents

Told me fill out all of them and I just

Stared and said are you here to deprogram me?

I've heard the future's in crowds

But how can that be? I can see

The nuke above my head right now

I watch bombs drop from level-eight

Of the parking complex next to Ralph's

My phone is never far

You know it's not really mine

Well I guess it is until death
