Lyrics
C'est La Mort
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Swan dive down eleven stories high
Hold your breath until you see the light
You can sing to the bottom of the sea
Just don't go without me
Go with us where no one can be found
Drink so long and deep until you drown
Say your goodbyes but darlin if you please,
Don't go without me.
C'est la vie, c'est la mort.
(such is life, such is death.)
You and me,
Forevermore.
Lets walk on the road that has no end
Steal away where only angels tread
Heaven or hell or somewhere in between
Cross your heart and take me with you please
Don't go
Please don't go
Don't go without me
