Immortality in a CanImmortality in a CanGrab it while you canImmortality in a CanYou know what they say:Once you pop youJustCan'tStop...Man, I just took this deal, and I feel greatJust popped now fate awaits my infinity sell by dateTo satiate my thirstI never have to deal with the worstI get live forever as the eternal manAnd I owe it all to Immortality in a CanOnce you pop youJustCan'tStop...Ten years on and I'm still feeling strongSince then I've taken life head onI'm still feeling great, my body is spryI have a love of life my friends can't denyI could do this forever, or that's the planAnd I owe it all to Immortality in a CanOnce you pop youJustCan'tStop...Twenty years past and I'm still goingEven though my friends' age is showingI've no wrinkles, either in skin or lifeI've settled down with a trophy wifeShe's got a bump, on the way a little manAnd I owe it all to Immortality in a CanOnce you pop youJustCan'tStop...Fifty years on, and I admit it's been strangeI've experienced a lot of life's odd rangeThere's been ups and downs, now my kid is grownMy wife's gone on too, so I'm left aloneI'm still fine though, and I'm still a fanAnd all I owe to Immortality in a CanOnce you pop youJustCan'tStop...One hundred years on, I just buried my sonI've attended a thousand funerals if I've attended oneI'm stuck on this world, the Earth has movedI'm a relic now, I'm out of my grooveI'm viewed as an ignorant, out-of-touch manAll thanks, once again, to Immortality in a CanOnce you pop youJustCan'tStop...One thousand years on, yes I'm still hereI've tried to find purpose, I've tried to disappearIt's tough now though, to go off the gridI'm known worldwide for what I once didA morality lesson you learn as soon as you canFor that indulgence of Immortality in a CanOnce you pop youJustCan'tStop...Ten thousand years on and the world is goneIt's barren, we did well to last so longMillion year gone and it's still the sameMany million years gone and it's still the sameI lost count long ago, just as I lost any planYet still I go on, Immortality in a CanOnce you pop youJustCan'tStop...I'm not saying I didn't experience things of worthI experienced much death, but also birthBut those golden moments, they weren't worth the tradeNothing good happened to those death betrayedAnd I know death is scary, but to be the eternal man?Forever is a long long time. So would you take Immortality in a Can?
