lyrics

What's that you're saying
Ya ain't got no time?
That's an understatement
I know I ain't got mine

Yeah, while you're slavin'
Every single day
Someone's engravin'
Words on your grave

So don't read between the lines
Everything is fine
Everybody's dyin'
And there ain't much time

I hear you talkin'
What did you say?
I hear you talk, talk, talk, talk
But what did you say?

Your words mean nothin'
They're thin as air
No they mean noth-noth-noth-nothin'
I just don't care

So don't read between the lines
Everything is fine
Everybody's dyin'
And there ain't much time

Look at your social climbers
Talkin' smart and talkin' loud
They're gettin' high, high, high
Never comin' down

You got it made, babe
You got it swell
Friends in high places
Oh, the stories you could tell

So don't read between the lines
Everything is fine
Everybody's dyin'
And there ain't much time

Mark Lakmann: trombone, bass trombone, horn arrangement
