Sometimes I tell you the way that I'm feel

I think that I'm going crazy

Gotta tell myself man it ain't that big a deal

It's better than pushing up daisies

I slip and stumble and roll down the hill

Trying to impress the ladies

Once played the fool I guess I always will

It's better than pushing up daisies

*

I walk a high wire with no safety net

God only knows what saves me

All that I know is it ain't over yet

Not till I'm pushing up daisies

I've seen the arrows of death little quiver

Come so close they actually grazed me

I've seen the blood and I've felt the cold shiver

Still I ain't pushing up daisies

Standing here leaning on my windowsill

Dreaming of a sky so blue

Pushing up daisies out there on the hill

It's the last thing that I'll ever do

*

Sometimes my heart is as true as a child

Sometimes my heart it betrays me

Breaks right in two every once in a while

But it's better than pushing up daisies

Standing here leaning on my windowsill

Dreaming of a sky so blue

Pushing up daisies out there on the hill

It's the last thing that I'll ever do
