lyrics

Live by the minute
Works out all right for me
If you can dig it
That's my philosophy
If not, forget it
Can't tell you how to be or see
"Man", said the manatee
"Swim through the misery"
Live by the minute
Ride on the mystery

Live by the minute
Let what will be just be
Your daddy missed it
Look how he roots for thee
Your time is ticking!
Death's death and this is brief!
But sweet
"Man", said the wise old tree
"Bloom through the agony"
Live by the minute
Soon you'll be history
It's true
Yeah, you!
Me too!

So don't go asking what it's all for
Your bucket's rusting!
And when you kick it
Death's that - and nothing more
I suppose
But who knows?
I don't
