LET ME DIE FIRST

LET ME DIE FIRST

not even coffee works

and the rain comes

pouring down

with winds of 80 mph

and I dream

about parties

that have yet to happen

in some kind of alternate heaven

don;t think

I can trust

another ride

on the magic bus

the drummer is dead

and the lead guitar is deaf

on yet another

final tour

and the next song

is Swan Lake

of this

what do I make

and Dire Straits

play just what they please

wailing about

Industrial DIcease

so make the toast

and see who can drink most

and slake their thirst

but let me die first
