Pieces of newspaper
Wrapped around a package carrying nothing
That would do you any good
Footsteps a-rushing
‘Cause your mind and your body feel like they’re crushing
Cannot wait to get the goods
And it’s medicine for all that ails you
So strong that it could kill you
What a way to go, that’s what we say
Heaven in piece of tinfoil
Comfort in a plastic baggie
What a way to go, that’s what we say
But look at all you’re going to take with you
If you do
Salvation halved and quartered
Taking more than you ought to
Look at all the colors in your [?]
Your eye’s staring at you
Seeing more than it wants to
Snip a little something for the [?]
It’s medicine for all that ails you
So strong it could kill you
What a way to go, that’s what we say
Heaven in piece of tinfoil
Comfort in a plastic baggie
What a way to go, that’s what we say
But look at all you’re going to take with you
If you do
You’ll take away the chance to have
Somebody say “I love you”
The chance to have their arm all around you
Your eyes won’t see a new day
Smell the first of May-day
Or be the only one ’cause there is only one of you
It’s medicine for all that ails you
So strong it could kill you
But what a way to go, that’s what we say
Heaven in piece of tinfoil
Comfort in a plastic baggie
What a way to go, that’s what we say
But look at all you’re going to take with you
If you do
