Carrying On

Somehow we got here, all in this room

Well, it’s so filled with bliss and so filled with doom

We’re all dying together

Somehow we’re laughing and carrying on

When we know in an instant, it all could be gone

We’re all dying here together

Life don’t cost nothing, but your sweet time

And you know you’d be spending it anyway

So, hold every minute like it’s your last dime

For the good lord could take it from you any day

Sometimes I think that I’m the only one

Who fears every second before it’s begun

We’re all dying together

Sometimes I think that I’m the only one

Who looks to the sky and can’t find the sun

We’re all dying here together

Life don’t cost nothing, but your sweet time

And you know you’d be spending it anyway

So, hold every minute like it’s your last dime

For the good lord could take it from you any day

Someday the dim lights of our night life will fade

With the sand in the ashtray, we’ll be tossed away

We’re all dying together

Someday the comfort of kinship we knew

Will all disappear down that dark avenue

We’re all dying alone
