Lyrics

[Intro]
When I've almost given up
But we all need love
Uh-oh
Teaching me to—
[Verse 1]
Don't listen to this in 40 years, this is not for posterity (No)
Just for this once I got clarity, barely, errantly
Hear mistakes I made carefully
Heresy I say prayerfully
Just for this moment of charity
Rare moment you share with me, here
Don't listen to this in 40 years, listen to what it inspired (Yes)
If this spittin' tripped a wire (Yes)
By which I mean lit a fire (Lit)
In someone raised on the songs (Up)
By which I mean lifted higher
I don't mean the kid is retired, I mean when the fresh in the fridge is expired
Choir
[Chorus]
Pour the champagne, pass the plantain
Pour the champagne, pass the plantain
Nothing lasts forever, that's a damn shame
No one lasts forever, babe
But if it did, nothing can change
Pour the champagne, pass the plantain
Pour the champagne, pass the plantain
Nothing lasts forever, that's a damn shame
But if it did, nothing can change
[Verse 2]
Yeah, don't listen to this in 40 years, fresh waters restore life
Seeds fall so there's more life
Death as a metaphor for life (Yeah)
Don't listen to this in 40 years, even if no one is more nice
Even if nobody write more, uh, that doesn't mean that it's more right
That doesn't mean that it's pure light (Pure)
Just for a moment of foresight
What's said in this short life, win my wars then it's your fight
Who can translate? Who can read the verses and then reinterpret? (Who can translate?)
Who can translate so the people heard it? All the people hurtin'
Who can be the person who can lead with purpose? Be of service?
This ain't church, but indeed it's service
Take these words from the streaming service
Cheers
[Chorus]
Pour the champagne, pass the plantain
Pour the champagne, pass the plantain (Yeah)
Nothing lasts forever, that's a damn shame
But if it did, nothing can change
Pour the champagne, pass the plantain
Pour the champagne, pass the plantain
Nothing lasts forever, that's a damn shame
But if it did, nothing can change
[Outro]
Uh
Cheers
That's fear of death
