The Legend of the Living Legend

Something about leaving gets everybody all worked up
Hankies waving in the air with sudden patriotism
You don't get noticed when you're there, but they notice when you're not with them
Cause there's something about leaving that gets everybody all worked up

Nothing about staying gets you noticed
You can take your pick between:
Becoming part of the scenery or wearing out your welcome
Cause there's nothing about staying that gets you noticed

Something about dying gets everybody all worked up
There's no such thing as a living legend
Cause there's something about dying that gets everybody all worked up
You can say you knew them, and you can get all worked up

Something about your leaving is getting me all worked up
It's not that you're not breathing
It's this presence I cannot touch
Something about his leaving is getting me all worked up
I don't feel like grieving, I just feel all fucked up

Something about his leaving is getting me all worked up
And all this talk about conceiving is getting me all mixed up
Is it just to have something that we can leave behind?
Cause there's something about leaving...
