From the recording Assorted Ruminations
A former colleague was diagnosed with incurable cancer shortly after retiring. During this palliative period he told his wife "eat the f@@king cake."
This song is dedicated to the memory of a great man, husband and father who was lost to us way too soon. F@@k cancer!!
RIP Greg Watling.

Lyrics
Live life, while you can
While you’re still alive
Open the mind, embrace the time
Don’t let it slide
Don’t hold back, don’t be slack
Go on a crazy ride
Let it loose, hell with the news
have a rock and roll time
Do what you’re gonna do
No matter what you’re going through
Your mind may waver, your body might ache
So just eat the freaking cake
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Do what you’re gonna do
No matter what you’re going through
Your mind may waver, your body might ache
So just eat the freaking cake
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Do it now, don’t waste the time
Get on that horse and ride
Fly into space, run that race
Get in that car and drive
Paddle that stream, swim in that sea
Try out another scene
Do what you want, when you want
Leave nothing behind
