Vital Signs - Frank Turner (法兰克·透纳)
This country is my canvas â-
I leave paint trails as I go
I'm painting a picture
You can only see from outer space
My bedroom is your sofa
I take my breakfast on the train
I'm tired and I'm dirty and not a second goes to waste
I'll be dead but never dying and I say that with a smile
It's just my way of trying to be alive
Well I'll never get to grey hair
And I'll never be in the black
But I can tell stories that most can hardly dream
Dreaming is a luxury
Like stopping-staring and beauty sleep
I'll stop when I'm finished
And sleep is for the weak
I'll be dead but never dying and I say that with a smile
It's just my way of trying to be alive
Heaven's in the half-light and that's where I reside
A whiskey and a wry smile â-
I check my vital signs
And when I'm gone
The worlds revolve and life goes on
So mark no grave
Forget my name
If the song remains
And everybody's got a drink and a smile
Well that's just fine by me
Heaven's in the half-light and that's where I reside
A whiskey and a wry smile â-
I check my vital signs
I'll be dead but never dying and I say that with a smile
It's just my way of trying to be alive
