'chain Letter' Lyrics - Rundgren Todd

Don't take yourself too seriously 

There are precious few things worth hating nowadays, 

And none of them are me 

I was only trying to say how things used to be 

'Til we grew up and we all went our separate ways 

Looking for our own paths to immortality 

This is how I thought I'd start my song 

And it seems a little silly when I think of it 

But now I'm so far along 

And no one really wants to know that he's wrong 

That his ears can't really hear or he's blind a bit 

Or that he's really weak when he thinks that he is strong 

Now I'm in the middle and I just don't know 

If I'll make it any further if the words don't flow 

When you live in silence any sound is dear 

But for those who don't, take heart because the end is near 

This is the ending of my song 

It has made me blind and deaf and weak but most of all 

It shows you that I'm wrong 

For you see it's really twice this long 

And if I should die tomorrow it will carry on
