lyrics

Awake beats alive beats asleep beats dead
What I once heard somebody said

Maybe they were trying to con somebody out of something
Maybe they were trying to distract from chains and rings
and all those pretty things we use to keep track of time
from here to there and back

Awake beats alive beats asleep beats dead
What I once heard somebody said

It's a bit big for a bumper sticker, maybe not for a big bottle of liquor
A little big large for some pills you might take when you're not feeling well
Trying to get a little bit closer to heaven than hell
trying to get a little bit closer to heaven when you are in hell
