Dying Degree

[Verse 1]

Dresser drawers are filled with pocket change

Coupons cut smoked to the butt

Is this what dreams are made?

Adding up, subtracting down, you find

Yourself sucking the rind

[Refrain]

Dying degree

Graying amie

[Verse 2]

Final payment made, had you forgot

The rightful owner of one deluxe cemetery plot?

Paisley satin lined, how apropos

What a better way to go?

[Refrain]

Dying degree

Graying amie

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]

No more eating crumbs

When my pension finally comes

You kids won't eat mush anymore 'round me

[Refrain]

Dying degree

Graying amie

[Outro]

Dying...
