The Last Day

So for me, it's about now, it's about living It's not about waiting for something that's going to come What a waste of a life, if what you're worrying about is what's going to come at the other end and where you're going to go Because I firmly believe the light switch is off Suzanna wakes in the night To find that she is floating Two feet above her small bed Her chest incised and open She can see her lungs resting on the ceiling She can see her heart beating in the corner She can see her hands lying on the carpet She can see her toes severed on the sideboard She thinks about her window Drawn by the silvery moonlight She finds herself by the road Translucent under street lights When the 42 comes she boards the white bus Rides it into town, sitting on the back seat She can feel it move; she can feel the whole world Moving her like particles of sunlight (This could really be) Chair (This could really be) Cat (This could really be) Tea (This could really be) The last day of your life You have a finite time, and therefore you live every day for what you do in that day And you get to the end of the day and you count your blessings for what has happened in that day She finds a cosy cafe Her bones and skull vibrating She drinks unending coffees Her plastic chair is singing She can see herself dancing under street lights Like a skeleton in an old cartoon She can see herself flying through the night sky Like a firework knick-knack sonic boom She floats into the arcade Plays Top Gun and Invaders Eats sweets and drinks lemonade Smiles at the man beside her And they talk about something on the TV And they talk about the strangeness of moonlight And they talk about pinball and penny slots And they rise like doves (This could really be) Chair This could really be the last chair of your life (This could really be) Cat This could really be the last cat of your life (This could really be) Tea This could really be the last tea of your life (This could really be) Fight This could really be the last fight of your life (This could really be) Car This could really be the last car of your life (This could really be) Tree This could really be the last tree of your life (This could really be) Kiss This could really be the last kiss of your life (This could really be) Book This could really be the last book of your life (This could really be) The last day of your life (This could really be) The last day of your life (This could really be) The last day of your life (This could really be) The last day of your life (This could really be) The last day of your life The last day of your life
