Just for effect the angel of death asks you to effect your dreams
Well, I'll be prepared to bet that you wouldn't expect or even know what it means
You'll burn in the fire all your desires but when you emerge you'll be clean
So you contrive all of the time that you're alive to know, to know what it means
You know what it means, you know what it means you effect that you know what it means

You smile and you joke at desire you poke is there anyone left now to dream?
The gambler bets and the old men forget and effect that they know what it means
That they know what it means and they effect that they know what it means.

Well is there good or bad or are you just mad do you have a card to redeem?
At your funeral dirge you'll be free to expurge that it really did mean something, That it meant something, that it really did mean something.

Well, I know what it means, 
Yes, I know what it means it means,
It means nothing!
