When the rot takes hold
When the rust sets in
Some things just get old
Some things just end
Bonnets of spoiled food
A harsh word let loose
Smoke drifts on by
Cars crash at sixty-five
Nothing really lasts
Eventually
Everything dies

Everything Dies
When the rot takes hold
When the rust sets in
Some things just get old
Some things just end
Bonnets of spoiled food
A harsh word let loose
Smoke drifts on by
Cars crash at sixty-five
Nothing really lasts
Eventually
Everything dies
