[Verse 1]
Dresser drawers are filled with pocket change
Coupons cut smoked to the butt
Is this what dreams are made?
Adding up, subtracting down, you find
Yourself sucking the rind

[Refrain]
Dying degree
Graying amie

[Verse 2]
Final payment made, had you forgot
The rightful owner of one deluxe cemetery plot?
Paisley satin lined, how apropos
What a better way to go?

[Refrain]
Dying degree
Graying amie

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
No more eating crumbs
When my pension finally comes
You kids won't eat mush anymore 'round me
[Refrain]
Dying degree
Graying amie

[Outro]
Dying...
