Vital Signs by Frank Turner
Vital Signs lyrics
This country is my canvas �
I leave paint trails as I go.
I�m painting a picture
That 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.
Heaven�s in the half-light, and that�s where I reside,
A whiskey and a wry smile �
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.
