Halo

I gave up smoking for my lungs
I gave up candy for Lent
I let go of my cold beer because I feared
My liver went, and I repented

I gave up spanking for my child (so hostile)
I gave up wanking to see (goodness me)
I laid down my poker cards although it’s hard
To break free, it’s good for me they say

But I wonder what it’s like to be a toothless man, wheezin’ man, white cane in tow
Cirrhosis out to get him, Saint Peter wouldn’t let him wear a halo
Grinnin’ while remembering a glutton’s life before it caught up to him
Would he do it all again or just lay low?

I gave up skiing for my knees (one run, please)
Took up Lifecycle instead (used my head)
I go to bed every night while it’s still light
To get my rest and be the best I can

But I wonder what it’s like to be a toothless man, wheezin’ man, white cane in tow
Cirrhosis out to get him, Saint Peter wouldn’t let him wear a halo
Grinnin’ while remembering a glutton’s life before it caught up to him
Would he do it all again or just lay low?

I gave up smoking for my lungs (keep me young)
I gave up candy for Lent (like Jesus meant)
I let go of my cold beer because I feared
My liver went, and I repented

But I wonder what it’s like to be a toothless man, wheezin’ man, white cane in tow
Cirrhosis out to get him, Saint Peter wouldn’t let him wear a halo
Grinnin’ while remembering a glutton’s life before it caught up to him
Would he do it all again or just lay low?

But I wonder what it’s like to be a toothless man, wheezin’ man, white cane in tow
Cirrhosis out to get him, Saint Peter wouldn’t let him wear a halo
Grinnin’ while remembering a glutton’s life before it caught up to him
Would he do it all again or just lay low?
