Not Dying Today

[Verse 1]

There was a gambler and a cleaner and a puppeteer

Only the puppet could explain just what he was

All on a bus we were hoping to pass the time

Plug my piece in boys then we can drink the wine

Drink the wine, drink the wine

[Chorus 1]

Well, music, good friends, I'm not dying today

I may be 6 feet under, full of wonder

I'm not dying today, dying

Today, today

Today I'm not dying, mister

Today, today

[Verse 2]

Neil is thrilled he can claim he's mammalian

"But the bad news," he said, "Girl, you're a dandelion"

Dandelion, hey I need to think about that

Yeah, I thought about that and I said, "What the Hell?"

He said, "Nope, you are Earth bound

Blow them seeds away and maybe one will make a sound

Make a sound"

[Chorus 2]

Oh, music, good friends

I'm not dying today

I may be 6 feet under, full of thunder

I'm not dying today, dying

Today, today

Today I'm not dying, mister

Today, today

[Bridge]

So they got us go, going and coming

'Cause they make us pay if we go or stay

Is he praying that I'll pop my clogs?

If they can't prove I'm crazy

By noon I'll be pushing up them daisies

Tomorrow, with their doughnut box

They'll say, "It's sad she's brown bread"

Hey, I got my weapons

[Chorus 3]

Music, good friends

I'm not dying today

I may be 6 feet under, way down yonder

I'm not dying today, dying

Today, today

[Outro]

I'm not dying, sister

Keep your paws off my ankle straps and my mister

Dying, frying, rather have a lie-in

I am not blowing that Gabriel's trumpet

I got my own band to play today
