One Foot In The Grave Vigilantes of Love

[Verse 1]
Now the brakeman calls down to us folks in the car below
He says, "The next stop is yours, I'll bring your speed down slow"
So I gather up my bundle, my weariness, and a sense of pride
That's been runnin' long past empty since I took this long train ride

[Chorus]
I got one foot in the grave
You always thought you had it made
One foot in the grave
The mirror holds a lonely face
One foot in the grave
Regrets are like the pennies I saved
One foot in the grave
Of love

[Verse 2]
Now I peer out over the edge to a canyon river far below
You know I'm deathly scared of heights and I cannot swim a single stroke
I don't recall if I was pushed, I don't recall if I tripped or fell
There were devils all around me, but an angel just as well

[Chorus]
I got one foot in the grave
You always thought you had it made
One foot in the grave
The mirror holds a lonely face
One foot in the grave
Regrets are like the pennies I saved
One foot in the grave
Of love
