When I Die Songtext
von Terrorvision

Yes, I′ve been without
Been down and out
Out on a limb with nowhere to go
Told it's one less thing on my mind
Not to worry about
All the paying out
The piles of bills and final demands
They′d all be sorted when I die

But I was going off the rails
No matter how I tried
If all else fails, fails
A part of me just died
But nothing ever changes
Forever stuck on my tune
Baby, I was born to lose


Then my luck came in
I got a lucky win
Hundreds of thousands, thousands of friends
Had no more worries for a time
Didn't care about
If I was paying out
Instead to enjoy having a me
Can't take it with you when you die

I was back on happy trails
I didn′t have to try
The wind was in my sails
Felt so happy I could cry
′Cause nothing changes, change
I felt like time was on my side
I was happy and I really felt alive

When I'm falling
I′m tumbling down
I'm crawling around on the ground
I′ve been wondering
Wondering why
Wondering why life's so up and down

Sense of irony sweeping over me
In the jug again, ain′t that swell?
Incurable, nothing I could buy
Don't want no policies that totally cover me
No hidden small print to sell my soul
No pots and gestures to say goodbye


You can stick your bonds and bails
Where the sun don't shine
I′m not going to be pleasant
You can think what you like
′Cause if it ever changes
It goes from bad to worse
I might as well face it, man, I'm cursed

When I′m falling
I'm tumbling down
I′m crawling around on the ground
I've been wondering
Wondering why
Wondering why life′s so up and down
And I'm falling
I'm tumbling down
I′m crawling around on the ground
I′ve been wondering
Wondering why
Wondering why life's so up and down
