Cold Death

Bear Quartet · Human Enough [1998]

the dead walk among the living

it happens all the time you know

one of these days it's you, friend

and it's not even in the end



it's a hard fact of life

but it's still just life

it's really dark

and you're stuck inside

no light: forever night



but then daylight reveals itself

and the coffee is right on the money

it's really stupid but I swear it's true

the birds sing especially for you



the dead head for the cities

where they sit and nod their heads

annoying the living

with a presence barely felt
