Immortality in a Can

Immortality in a Can
Immortality in a Can
Grab it while you can
Immortality in a Can

You know what they say:
Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...

Man, I just took this deal, and I feel great
Just popped now fate awaits my infinity sell by date
To satiate my thirst
I never have to deal with the worst
I get live forever as the eternal man
And I owe it all to Immortality in a Can

Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...

Ten years on and I'm still feeling strong
Since then I've taken life head on
I'm still feeling great, my body is spry
I have a love of life my friends can't deny
I could do this forever, or that's the plan
And I owe it all to Immortality in a Can

Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...

Twenty years past and I'm still going
Even though my friends' age is showing
I've no wrinkles, either in skin or life
I've settled down with a trophy wife
She's got a bump, on the way a little man
And I owe it all to Immortality in a Can

Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...

Fifty years on, and I admit it's been strange
I've experienced a lot of life's odd range
There's been ups and downs, now my kid is grown
My wife's gone on too, so I'm left alone
I'm still fine though, and I'm still a fan
And all I owe to Immortality in a Can

Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...

One hundred years on, I just buried my son
I've attended a thousand funerals if I've attended one
I'm stuck on this world, the Earth has moved
I'm a relic now, I'm out of my groove
I'm viewed as an ignorant, out-of-touch man
All thanks, once again, to Immortality in a Can

Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...

One thousand years on, yes I'm still here
I've tried to find purpose, I've tried to disappear
It's tough now though, to go off the grid
I'm known worldwide for what I once did
A morality lesson you learn as soon as you can
For that indulgence of Immortality in a Can

Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...



Ten thousand years on and the world is gone
It's barren, we did well to last so long
Million year gone and it's still the same
Many million years gone and it's still the same
I lost count long ago, just as I lost any plan
Yet still I go on, Immortality in a Can

Once you pop you
Just
Can't
Stop...

I'm not saying I didn't experience things of worth
I experienced much death, but also birth
But those golden moments, they weren't worth the trade
Nothing good happened to those death betrayed
And 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?
