Friday is the 13th
To 24th it's not so long to go
Though my face don't show
My temperature is getting too low
I've seen it all in a dream
I know just how it's gonna feel like
Not to be alive anymore
I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
Tell me will you remember me that day
When you found a new one who is better than I ever was
I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
Please give all my things away
They'll be great Christmas presents for you and for all my friends
It hurts so inside
To see you with another, from the edge of a cloud
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave
Before the angels took me away?
So here I'm all dressed in white
While you're drinking up my best red wine
And you don't realize that I'm with you all the time
I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
Tell me will you remember me that day
When you found a new one who was better than I ever was?
I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
Please give all my things away
They'll be great Christmas presents for you and for all my friends
It's getting so lonely without you
And I'm sure I am jealous too
To see another man in my bed
Be sure I can't get no rest
Before you're up here with me
I'll be dead this Christmas now anyway
So leave the flowers on my grave
There's sure a way you could join me
Any day around, honey
And you'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
Lay beside me in our family grave
We'll be making love eternally
In a spiritual way
We'll be dead by Christmas now anyway
We'll sell everything away
Everybody's gonna die
We've got a life to live
A life after death
