looking back so far away
didn't think i'd even last a day
who would have guessed
i'd end up surviving
all alone

now
why do you look at me that way?
it's 20 years later
that's the price you pay
for staying alive while
the world around you
expires


24/7
7 days a week
4 weeks a month
12 months a year
7 days a week (24/7)
all my life
7 days a week (24/7)
all my life
just a matter of weeks (24/7)
if that's the rest of my life
it makes for tedious disease

it makes for tedious disease


do i live just for today
or am i here at last to stay
do i even exist while time
unravels on its own

so
why are you shocked to see me here
expecting my ghost
or some sedated mirror
best to remember life
can erase you with a
smile


24/7
7 days a week
4 weeks a month
12 months a year
7 days a week (24/7)
all my life
7 days a week (24/7)
all my life
just a matter of weeks (24/7)
if that's the rest of my life
it makes for tedious disease

it makes for tedious disease



until we meet again
and we will
because

i've got the rest of my life
(it might have gone the other way)
i've got the rest of my life
(i never thought i had a say)
i've got the rest of my life
(who would have guessed i'd see the day)
i've got the rest of my life
(no longer very far away)

i've got the rest of my life
to cure this tedious disease

"what some call health...
isn't much better than tedious disease."
