about

About death, but mostly life

lyrics

Mary Ann found herself in some trouble
She'd never seen a man that stood so tall
the fact he was so sizeable
made him too recognizable
and that man, he wouldn't stand for that at all

That banker never punched his ticket early
dependable to run five minutes late
today he's bound to beat the clock
and that four-way stop seems safe to cross
if only he'd been taught to look both ways


There is nothing you can do
I am coming straight for you

Benjamin was born to breathe in water
Every race resulted in a gold
a couple laps to start the day
a trouble cramp ties up his leg
and not a soul to watch him sink below

Grinding meat all week to get a paycheck
forty hours feels like eight-five
Hank forgot the safety tips and that
grinder, man, just grinds and rips
and to end his shift, ol' Hank, he took a dive

There is nothing you can do
I am coming straight for you

Wallace, though, he heeded every story
knew that he was smarter than the rest
saw the world through windown blinds
"I'm stayin' here, I'll be just fine"
until he felt that tightness in his chest

Death appeared before him staring gravely
sadder than his average tragic case
This one stayed inside his cage
and traded happiness for age
and Death was sad, he quite enjoys the Chase.

There is nothing you can do
I am coming straight for you
