lyrics

Day Of The Dead
you say you get up and you say it's another lovely day
but I wouldn't go that far I really wouldn't go that far
how far would you go to protect this?
to protect this this particular way of life
where I feel most alive on the day of the dead

how far would you go?
to protect this way of life
you say it's a lovely day
but I wouldn't go that far
I really wouldn't go that far


"Day Of The Dead" started with a quote from Beckett, not from his writing but rather his conversation. Going for a walk, a friend proclaimed that it was a lovely day. Beckett's response was "I wouldn't go that far". A similar sentiment opens his play "Happy Days" and I took it from there.
