I've got this little tickle in the back of my throat,
And I'm coughin' all the time.
I know the reaper's got my number,
And it's just a matter of time,
But despite what they all say,
I ain't just dyin' 'cause I lived "that way", no,
I'm goin' out 'cause somewhere along the line I just got tired
And forgot where I was goin'.
But now, now I remember.
To the end
Of this second chapter,
And my epilogue'll be read
As my eulogy.
