It's a survival cry
the reason why
no one wants to die
But everyone has to go
eventually so
Time may or may not
be on our side
all we can do is
prepare for the ride
hoping we don't
slip or slide

Some be slipping
into death dipping
Others be sliding
with all the bull riding
They do no sage confiding
come up a day late
and a dollar short
with devil ruling
their court
Quite a few even snort
ride the white pony
for sport

The pony runs away
comes back everyday
In the meantime the
everyday hocuspocus
blinds their focus
The best why or why not will hit
but it maybe too late to quit
Life is a do or die affair
the grim reaper may
show up anywhere
and he will collect
if we don't correct
