Those Final Feet          
             
Place my body on the funeral pyre, 
cut it loose to float downstream 
Leave it frozen on a mountain top, 
suspend it high to be picked clean 

You said never to grow old, 
but you forgot to tell me how 
You said never to grow old 
and then you sank your teeth into those final feet 

Last night I dreamt of owls at my window 
I knew that time was winding down 
Turned to tell you of my premonition, 
changed my mind and lay back down 

You said never to grow old, 
but you forgot to tell me how 
You said never to grow old 
and then you sank your teeth into those final feet 

No sense wasting the time you got, 
you got to walk down every road 
No sense pretending that you're what you're not, 
when you got to shoulder every load 

You said never to grow old, 
but you forgot to tell me how 
You said never to grow old 
and then you sank your teeth into those final feet 

Cut it loose, cut it loose, cut it loose 

You said never to grow old, 
but you forgot to tell me how 
You said never to grow old 
and then you sank your teeth into those final feet
