Lyrics
I wake up so early The sun has only just set I wake up in a middle aged body To the toilet, I must get I wake up with no purpose With no raison d'etre I wake up and the world is changing I don't feel any different yet Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs, yeah We wake up in these brackish waters Neither here nor there We wake up and drift into each other Coming up for air We wake up and every breath is precious Pulling each other down We wake up, try to save each other We wake up and then we drown Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs, yeah I wake up and I just don't matter Shed an invisible tear I wake up to that grinning spectre As a younger man, I used to fear Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs, yeah Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs, yeah (mortal dread) Mortal dread Until death comes Mortal dread crumbs, yeah
