What a Way to Go

[Verse 1]
Pieces of newspaper
Wrapped around a package carrying nothing
That would do you any good
Footsteps a-rushing
'Cause your mind and your body feel like they're crushing
Cannot wait to get the goods

[Chorus]
And it's medicine for all that ails you
So strong that it could kill you
What a way to go, that's what we say
Heaven in piece of tinfoil
Comfort in a plastic baggie
What a way to go, that's what we say
But look at all you're going to take with you
If you do

[Verse 2]
Salvation halved and quartered
Taking more than you ought to
Look at all the colors in your [?]
Your eye's staring at you
Seeing more than it wants to
Snip a little something for the [?]

[Chorus]
It's medicine for all that ails you
So strong it could kill you
What a way to go, that's what we say
Heaven in piece of tinfoil
Comfort in a plastic baggie
What a way to go, that's what we say
But look at all you're going to take with you
If you do

[Verse 3]
You'll take away the chance to have
Somebody say "I love you"
The chance to have their arm all around you
Your eyes won't see a new day
Smell the first of May-day
Or be the only one 'cause there is only one of you

[Chorus]
It's medicine for all that ails you
So strong it could kill you
But what a way to go, that's what we say
Heaven in piece of tinfoil
Comfort in a plastic baggie
What a way to go, that's what we say
But look at all you're going to take with you
If you do
