"Dying Degree" lyrics

Dresser drawers are filled with pocket change
Coupons cut, smoked to the butt
Is this what dreams are made
Adding up subtracting down you find
Yourself sucking the rind

Dying degree, graying amie

Final payment made - had you forgot?
The rightful owner of one deluxe cemetery plot
Paisley satin lined how apprapoe
What a better way to go

Dying degree, graying amie

No more eating crumbs
When my pension finally comes
You kids won't eat mush anymore 'round me

Dying degree, graying amie
Dying...
