Five feet under

Five feet under
5 feet under, he's got one foot in the grave.
Would you look at him? I think he's lost it,
I don't think that he can be saved.

He's got a downpayment on his tombstone,
he's not alone, his whole life has been out on a limb.
Just look at him, watch him get smashed
and race bikes so fast, just don't laugh.
What will it say on his epitaph?
Here he lies may he rest in peace,
hung on to life by the skin of his teeth,
pushing his luck thru the bottle he drinks.
Would you look at him? It's 5 feet under,
he's got one foot in the grave.
Would you look at him? I think he's lost it,
I don't think that he can be saved.
He's got a date with his maker
and he doesn't want to be late
and make no mistake, he's a real good friend,
so why might his life have to end?
My friend, I don't want to see you dead.
I don't want to see him dead!
I don't want to see him dead!
I don't want to see him dead!
