Hey taxi, send me straight to the heart of it
The nucleus of politics was somebody
Somebody started it
Cause they taxed me with a scalpel piece by piece
They cut me deep and bled me dry until there was nothing left to bleed

(Chorus:)
And this is how I choose to live
As if I'm jumping off a cliff
Knowing that you'll save me
Knowing that you'll save me
And after all the stupid things I did
There's nothing left that you'd forgive
Because you already forgave me
Yeah you already forgave me

Just keep driving
Leave this deceit miles behind me
So far back I'd have to wrack my mind to
Just remind me
I keep tryin to pick myself up
And then move on
Think about the life I'll have
When this fragile one is gone.

(Chorus)

Never forget
There's life after death and taxes
And forgiveness comes
And all of the rest
Is what passes away
Death and decay can't touch us now

Every breath that I inhale
Is followed by exhaling
Sure as the one who never failed
I know he'll never fail me

(x2:)
(just) Never forget
There's life after death and taxes
(and) Forgiveness comes (forgiveness comes)
And all of the rest
Still just passes away

(Chorus mixes with previous stanza)

Death and decay can't touch us now
