I've never lived a death as good as this Tonight, my friends, we drink until we spill Into each other's arms without a kiss For what does not repair may still fulfill And who's to veto Babylon's delights? What prophet thinks that any stone will shift? Cast off these thoughts into the glowing night Don Thalia's mask and let the ego drift It's really not as awful as it seems When you begin to look at life as just a game Pure hedonism can obstruct the dreams Of ever-nearing steeds of smoke and flame And when the fish are rotting in the sea I know you'll still be laughing here with me
