I don't need to leave an historic legacy
Don't want you inheriting all my stuff
Your future's something I want to share, I need to see
I've had a good run, but it's nowhere near enough
Don't need a nifty stone in a churchyard by the sea
Don't want you staring at an urn with me inside
Your bedtime story needs to come from only me
Don't put me in the ground, bring me along for the ride
I don't want much I just want immortality
I don't want much I just want immortality
I just can't see a world with one less of me
Don't want to check out, I want immortality
I'm going to miss me
When I'm a pigeon shit covered statue in the park
Life fades too fast
A soul doesn't last
So go ahead and laugh at the DeSoto I drove until I died
Mock our silly hair styles in the faded black-and-whites
Whoop it up as you try on my colorful head-dress for laughs
Marvel at how small I was a million years in the past
A million more years will come and go
You and you and you and you'll be a fossil too
They'll prop you up in a
Museum and you'll have
Immortality
Your portrait's hanging in your own memorial annex
Your heirs are wealthy famous beautiful and free
They're also brats and bigots with no sense of your achievements
How does it feel to have immortality?
I don't want much I just want immortality
I don't want much I just want immortality
I just can't see a world with one less of me
Don't want to check out, I want immortality
Immortality
Immortality
