Then the Lord said, Let there be light
And the Lord said, Let there be day and night
I can feel a cancer deep inside your bones
I hear it breeding there, hijacking all your hormones
Dead men float, the live ones sink like stones
Why does it hurt to breathe? I guess only God knows
I get some little satisfaction
From thinking, saying, praying, knowing I'll outlast you
You see your classmates having kids and wonder when
Their cushy life insurance policy kicks in

Growth stock girl
Dutifully swimming
Head above water
While the rest of us sink
Growth stock girl
Dutifully swimming
Head above water
While the rest of us sink
Growth stock girl, growth stock girl
Dutifully swimming, dutifully swimming
Head above water, head above water
While the rest of us sink, the rest of us sink
Growth stock girl, growth stock girl
Dutifully swimming, dutifully swimming
Head above water, head above water
While the rest of us sink, the rest of us sink
