[Verse 1]
There'll come a time when all of us must leave here
There's nothing sister Mary can do
Will keep me here with you
As nothing in this life that I've been trying
Can equal or surpass the art of dying
Do-do-do-do
Do you believe me?

[Verse 2]
There'll come a time when all your hopes are fading
When things that seemed so very plain
Become an awful pain
Searching for the truth among the lying
And answered when you will learn the art of dying
Do-do-do-do
Are you still with me?

[Bridge]
Do-do-do-do
But if you want it
Do-do-do-do-do-do
You must find it
Do-do-do-do
But when you have it
Do-do-do-do-do-do
There'll be no need for it
[Verse 3]
There'll come a time when most of us return here
Brought back by our desire to be
A perfect entity
Living through a million years of crying
Until you've realized the art of dying
Do-do-do-do
Do you believe me?
Do-do-do-do

[Outro]
And I knows how to wake
