In the event of my untimely death
I don't want you to cry
It's been unique to make this music
But it's not unique to die
And knowing all my lovely friends
They're probably still around
Shaking heads and saying that
"I wish he'd spent more time around"
So here friends
Here is the cure
As long as I'm still singing, well
Then death ain't through my door
So play this tape, or stream this song
Or spin this record 'round
And if you do that, then I am still around
Well this is immortality
Yes this is immortality
Yes this is immortality for me
If for some awful reason
I should leave my Mom behind
Well tell her that I'm sorry
She was never far from my mind
And to my mighty Sister
I'd never outlive you
'Cuz you're a superhero
But there was nothing that you could do
And to that band of pirates
Raise the bottle up for me
Take whatcha can, give nothing back
Keep one eye on the Sea
And to their valiant Captain
Well bespoken man was he
Be good, die never: that's the plot
Be happy and strong, for me
So here friends
This is the cure
As long as you're still singing, well
Then death ain't through my door
So play this tape, or stream this song
Or spin this record 'round
And if you do that, then I am still around
This is immortality
Yes this is immortality
Yes this is immortality to me
This is immortality
Yes this is immortality
Yes this is immortality to me
