I don't wanna die in the hospital
No I don't wanna die in the hospital
No I don't wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
I don't wanna hear all those factory sounds
Looking like the girl in the sleeping gown
I don't wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Can you make a sound to distract the nurse
Before I take a ride in that long black hearse
I don't wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
I gotta go, go, go
Cause I don't have long
Yeah I don't give a damn what those doctors say
I don't wanna spend another lonesome day
I don't wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
They don't let you smoke and you can't get drunk
All there is to watch are these soap operas
I don't wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Can you get this tube out of my arm
Morphine in my blood like a slow sad song
I don't wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
I gotta go go go
Cos I don't have long
Is there still a world at my windowsill
All there ever was I remember still
I don't wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Don't know when it's day or when its night
All I ever see are florescent lights
I'm not gonna die in this hospital
You gotta take me back outside
They give me all these flowers & big balloons
But I'm not gonna stay in this little room
I'm not gonna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Are the stars still in the sky
Is that fat moon on the rise
Feel the earth against my feet
As the cold wind calls for me
I ain't gonna die in the hospital
No I ain't gonna die in the hospital
No I ain't gonna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
I ain't gonna die in the hospital
No I ain't gonna die in the hospital
No I ain't gonna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
