lyrics

The paramedic arrives at the young widow's home.
27 years-old with everything to lose, but everything's gone.
He lays the defeated shape of a woman on the stretcher.
She touches his arms and looks up at him with swimming pool eyes
and says, "You're the last of a dying breed."

He drives home after his shift with the windows down.
He takes a drag from his cigarette while the receding ocean waves
drown out the silence.
It's been a while since any radio stations have been operable.
"Last of a dying breed", he chuckles to himself.
But what's worth saving anymore?
What's worth saving?

When it all disappears
In the rear view.
Who will comfort you?
Another lifeless form
Left on planet Earth
Why even bother?
Why?
