The Big Sleep

Let’s go on a drive to the ocean’s edge
Out upon the pier we can make a pledge
That we’ll meet again in this very place
I’ll forget your name, but recall your face

You can dye your hair but I’ll know your eyes
We’ll scan the beach for one another
I will meet you there under Winter skies
But time will tear us from each other

That’s life, you can’t pick it
That’s fate, you can’t trick it
It’s a one way ticket to the big sleep all alone

Let’s go on a date to the underworld
We have got a bond that’s as rare as pearl
Put your hand in mine, I’ll put mine in yours
Right before we slip through the flaming doors

On the other side we’ll be torn apart
We cannot face the void together
It’s like a burning coal sticking through my heart
When my tie to you is severed

Let’s go on a trip to the dying sun
We’ll end up right back where we started
We’ll get there just as fast if we walk or run
And either way we will be parted
