Deathbed Convert Songtext
von Jukebox Monkey

Tell me all the things you know
What was open ended does end after all
I guess it′s better that we know
And we try to smile pretending that it isn't so.

I don′t want to be a deathbed convert
Tell me you fulfilled your purpose
Tell me that you made your goals

I don't want to be a deathbed convert
Tell me you look backwards fondly
I don't want to speak of souls

Tell me of your childhood home
All the recipes and histories
Have you wisdom to impart?
Because I′m scared to death that you′ve said nothing I didn't know


Do you need some water, or a pillow?
Let me be useful, even in a useless way
Choose the fire or the earth
We′ll endeavour to make your wish come true.

I don't want to be a deathbed convert
Tell me you fulfilled your purpose
Tell me that you made your goals

I don′t want to be a deathbed convert
Tell me you look backwards fondly
I don't want to speak of souls

I don′t want to be a deathbed convert
I won't cry any name but yours
I don't want to be a deathbed convert
I won′t cry any name but yours

I don′t want to be a deathbed convert
Tell me you fulfilled your purpose
Tell me that you made your goals
I don't want to be a deathbed convert
Tell me you look backwards fondly
I don′t want to speak of souls
