The New Amsterdams a long event

You leave the light on
If I tied a few on
Forget all the things I don't want to think about
And I've been trying
'cause I've been denying
Lets be true, I'm really just hanging around
Just some nonsense
No dollars and no cents
And even the blue prints can spell it out
So what are you waiting for
Make your mistakes for
I gotta move if we're going to stay alive
If you've got the bill stack
Somewhere in your backpack
Give me my sum, show me the dotted line
And I've got mouths who
Need to be fed too
Take what I've got
Give it to the government
Memory lapses
Between death and the taxes
I'm setting the pace
Because life is a long event
We'll get through this
Don't know how we'll do it
May be the plan
Until the day we die
Life is too rich
Neither of us is letting it pass us by
