I faced the sky
Let out a sigh
My bones all drunk and dry
N'said while slurping gin
With a naughty know-all grin
Well son, if you get to live here
Long enough
You'll see
That all defeats must come
From a single victory
All defeats come
From a victory
So it's all ephemeral
It's all ephemeral
It's all ephemeral
To me
I turned around
Fell to the ground
My blue eyes open wide
N'muttered those ole words of plea
Just before I died:
It's all ephemeral
It's all ephemeral
To me
