[bodytext] => Our last act will be of defiance Fighting Death with every aching breath As she tries to stop our diaphragms Close our arteries "Did I live? Is this the way it goes? I always thought it would've happened sooner Much sooner" I suppose we all have danced with Death before But now she wants to take us home Too drunk off of morphine And the taxis don't drive through this part of town But she looks so beautiful Still we refuse Crying, refusing to say goodbye Refusing to let go Of all the people and memories in this smokey little bar She has glazed-over eyes and a soft voice We don't know where she will take us That's the greatest fear "I'll tell you once we get there." We barely hear above the monitor's buzzing flatline And that is all, so we stubbornly reply "Hopefully it's more scenic than this bed."
