Editors & Obits

She spent her time writing obits for the people who were passing by Did she get their lives right? Did she get their lives right? Or was it a complete mistake? Is it something that you now hate? Did it keep you up at night awake? Did it tear you down? That a life could be summed up in numbers and nouns and not even fill up a page? And not even fill up a page? And now you feel like you're on a roller coaster but backwards And now you feel like you're on a roller coaster but backwards When it all comes down When it all comes down When the bodies become the ground He spent his life editorializing from his own pen Did he get the lines right? Did he get the lines right? Or did he go insane, racking his brain, tallying the body count A drink in his hand, to the point where he can't stand He jumped the top rope with no note Well he took a stand, he was a real newspaperman Well he took a stand He was a real newspaperman And now you feel like you're on a roller coaster but backwards And now you feel like you're on a roller coaster but backwards When it all comes down When it all comes down When the bodies become the ground
