    Two lives are hard lives with you
    Two lives are hard lives with you
    Two lives are hard lives with you

    Hey, just look at us now
    Time made fools of us all
    We look, but we don't understand
    We try, but we don't look around
    Looking down
    Looking around

    Two lives are hard lives with you
    Two lives are hard lives with you

    Down where the river runs through
    The town, there's a memory of you
    Don't look, don't look at me now
    Time has got me somehow
    It's you and only you
    You and only you

    Two lives are hard lives with you
    Two lives are hard lives with you
    Two lives arе hard lives with you
    Two lives are hard livеs with you

    Down where the river runs through
    The town, there's a memory of you
    Don't look, don't look at me now
    Time has got me somehow

    Two hard lives are hard lives with you
    Two lives are hard lives with you

    ALGEBRA SUICIDE -- Little Dead Bodies
    How right you are, dear Paul
    That we hear of famous people's deaths
    While on vacation
    Perhaps it's so their funerals
    Are not too crowded
    With their loyal fans
    Being out of town and all
    Those celebrities
    Are pretty clever

    I've heard that someone's born
    Every 8 second
    So I presume that someone dies
    Every 8 seconds
    Just to keep things even
    It makes me feel shortchanged
    When I read the obituary page
    Someone's holding back
    Information
    It also prompts me to flip through the telephone directory
    On sleepless nights
    Saying over, and over
    And over again -
    "Yep. You're all going
    Every last one of you."
    Wow!
    Heaven must be a big place

    I don't know too many dead people
    But folks tell me I'm young
    When my grandfather died
    He was laid out in the Bubb
    Funeral home
    And I was secretly glad
    Mr. Bubb didn't change his name
    To something more romantic
    When he went into business
    I just wish it was less memorable

    My high school locker partner Ned
    Worked part-time for a mortician
    Imagine dressing dead people
    Straightening their ties
    And fluffing up their hair all so
    You can afford to take a girl out to the movies on Saturday night
    Well that's love
    That's adolescent desperation!
    I would have been honored to have Ned
    Take me to the movies
    And let him buy me popcorn

    Instead, I went out with a boy who died
    The hardest part was knowing that his body didn't just disappear on the bed
    The moment he left
    I think that's what keeps me off of suicide
    The idea that there's something left
    For someone else to clean up
    How rude and inconsiderate
    It's a pain to take out the weekly trash, l
    Et alone figure out what to do with
    Over a hundred pounds of flesh
    That's about to go bad
    Then even worse
    In India, where there's a religious cult which believes you shouldn't desecrate any of the elements of the dead
    They can't be buried
    Or burned
    They can't be cast out to sea
    So they're taken to the top of the tower of silence
    Where they become
    The vulture's problem

    How's that for passin' the buck?

    No, when I go, I want to go clean
    Convenient, leaving no mess
    As if I vaporized while taking a shower
    As if I moved to Antarctica leaving
    No forwarding address
