Blink

Have another cup of coffee
And then let’s go out on the balcony
And watch the airplanes sink
Hey don’t you think
Life’s gone by … in a blink
Let’s have another beer or so
Then open up the cellar door
And breathe the basement stink
Hey don’t you think
Life’s gone by … in a blink
Let’s bottle fruit and corn
Press the cider from the scorn
Just a shrivelled heap of jinx
Hey don’t you think
Life’s gone by … in a blink
Let’s fire up the afterglow
And the memories burn like toes
And the hurt beams like a sphinx
Hey don’t you think
Life’s gone by … in a blink
Hey, who am I to thank?
Now Baby, come on…
Hey, who am I to thank?
Now Baby, come on…
