The Living and the Dead

The living and the dead
have enormous eyes 
The living and the dead
sleep by water's bed

The living and the dead
have voice without reprise
The living and the dead
are sonorous widespread 

The living and the dead
after sleeping they rise
The living and the dead
Are always agreed

The living and the dead
drink the whole bottle dry 
The living and the dead
not odorless they shed 

The living and the dead
keep on each other eyes 
The living and the dead
change passports instead

The living and the dead
on tanning beds lie
The living and the dead
bask for their sore heads

The living and the dead
into slumbers they dive 
The living and the dead
suffer in their dread

The living and the dead
Of their counsel deprived 
The living and the dead
are sorrowfully stead 

The living and the dead
On their tip-toes rise
The living and the dead
don't run off ahead

The living and the dead
With crows gape wide
The living and the dead
evaporate the end
