I waited for apocalypse 
and felt it in my bones, 
the alchemists turned metal 
to a dusty bag of stones! 

The story flew around the world 
by type and bit and phone, 
the market-makers rushing in 
and calling in the loans. 

Tell me oh
Tell me, are we dead yet? 
Tell me oh
Can we put it all to bed, 
Forget the things we said? 
Tell me, Tell me, are we dead yet? 
Tell me, Oh, we’re still hanging on by a thread! 

I fell into eternal sleep 
after my years of fun, 
I didn’t know how very deep 
the bloody river runs, 
the ferryman his counsel keeps 
till cosmos ends and done, 
and all that I could do was weep, 
but mercy he has none! 

Tell me, Tell me, are we dead yet? Tell me, Can we leave the chat on read, Take it out behind the shed? Tell me, Tell me, are we dead yet? Tell me, Oh, we’re still hanging on by a thread! 

Oh, one day I’ll wake up and go wandering, 
The sky outside is blue but in my broken heart it’s thundering! 

Tell me, Tell me, are we dead yet? Tell me, Can we leave the chat on read, Take it out behind the shed? Tell me, Tell me, are we dead yet? Tell me, Oh, we’re still hanging on by a thread! 

A market’s built from lessons learned, 
and, oh, I learned them well, 
made money when their fortunes turned, 
whether they rose or fell. 
My lover’s heart broke 
from concern for at each starting bell, 
I told the Devil, let me burn 
for all time high in hell! 

Tell me, Tell me, are we dead yet? Tell me, Can we leave the chat on read, Take it out behind the shed? Tell me, Tell me, are we dead yet? Tell me, Oh, we’re still hanging on by a thread!
