This is how it works
It feels a little worse
Than when we drove our hearse

Right through that screaming crowd
While laughing up a storm
Until we were just bone

Until it got so warm
That none of us could sleep
And all the styrofoam

Began to melt away
We tried to find some words
To aid in the decay

But none of them were home
Inside their catacomb
A million ancient bees

Began to sting our knees
While we were on our knees
Praying that disease

Would leave the ones we love
And never come again


On the radio
We heard November Rain
That solo's really long

But it's a pretty song
We listened to it twice
'Cause the DJ was asleep


This is how it works
You're young until you're not

You love until you don't
You try until you can't
You laugh until you cry

You cry until you laugh
And everyone must breathe
Until their dying breath


No, this is how it works
You peer inside yourself

You take the things you like
And try to love the things you took
And then you take that love you made

And stick it into some
Someone else's heart
Pumping someone else's blood

And walking arm in arm
You hope it don't get harmed
But even if it does

You'll just do it all again

And on the radio

You hear November Rain
That solo's awful long
But it's a good refrain

You listen to it twice
'Cause the DJ is asleep
On the radio

(oh oh oh)
On the radio
On the radio - uh oh

On the radio - uh oh
On the radio - uh oh
On the radio
