i'm not even leavin' this earth...that's just mad
cause i still live the only life i've had
if i had passed away
i'd tell you that myself today
but the fans...have implied...i'm dead

i got a rose on my jacket that's blacker than i need
i'm caught walkin' barefoot 'cross the street
the records point out how
folks only play them backwards now
cause the fans...have implied...i'm dead

and when i died, john was well prepared
to get by, he acquired a spare
this gent became myself some way-hay
because i lacked the life to play

but if i died i'd really hurt all my girls
yes, it woulda broke their hearts all 'round the world
you all stop lookin' for clues
i'll show you what a real life paul can do
but the fans...implied...i'm dead
