It's the heaviest stone to throw Being told that it's nearly time to go When you know that just beyond the shroud There's a gala going on but you're not allowed For the first time in your life It's the last time in your life It's the heaviest stone to throw How many ways can the world say no? When all your tickets got punched long ago There's little left but your ego All the women do the government While the men disappear in the fundament The bold and courageous thoughts of youth Seem silly and ridiculous beside the truth But when you gather up to do the sum They're better than nothing now you're having none Rash and reckless boy Temerarious young man Everybody gets a sunset Everybody gets ruined Everybody gets to fall apart upon the stage But you rarely if ever get to choose When... It's the heaviest stone to throw When you can't even laugh on the gallows When None of it was worth it and they really let you know You barely even cast a shadow You never really cast a shadow
