Lyrics

[Verse 1] I have lived a life that thrives on beautiful mistakes The guarantee of death confirms the urge to celebrate You ran rings around the ones who nurtured discontent Now we hang suspended in my last will and testament I have courted chaos, found destruction suits my mood Played the school yard villain who beats himself so black and blue Let it be known that desperation's a most unhealthy bend So lie with me once more in my last will and testament [Chorus] When I am old, don't put me on a machine Just run your fingers through my hair Sing me slowly to sleep Bright is the morning When you know it is time to go Neither above nor down below I don't believe in a grand design And I'll be here with you long after I die I'll be here with you long after I die [Verse 2] Revelations, past transgressions, love burned 'til it's wick In this hour of quiet confession, I hope I'm not too late But I don't read the Bible, there is no need to repent Now I hang suspended in my last will and testament Scatter all the ashes on a sea that can't return There's a light around the corner, you needn't be concerned Even through your tears you make me feel so heaven-sent So lie with me once more in my last will and testament [Chorus] When I am old, don't put me on a machine Just run your fingers through my hair Sing me slowly to sleep Bright is the morning When you know it is time to go Whether above or down below I don't believe in a grand design And I'll be here with you long after I die [Outro] Here with you long after I die Here with you long after I die Here with you long after I die Here with you long after I die Here with you long after I die Here with you long after I die
