Good And Ready - Anthony D'Amato

Let me die in a heartbeat not slow and steady

Let me die in my sleep when I'm good and ready

Let me die on the ocean you could bury me at sea

Let me die on a coal train you can burn my body

Let me die in the desert in a sea of sand

Let me die in the pleasure of a one night stand

Let me die in the forest with the first spring thaw

Let me die in the chorus with a hallelujah

'Cause I don't wanna wake up losing altitude

I don't wanna wake up whispering the blues

I don't wanna wake up but what else can I do

I don't wanna wake up if it ain't next to you

Let me die in my new suit I wanna look my best

Let me die baby real soon I could use the rest

Let me die in a bar fight with a broken nose

Let me die in the spotlight you could pick my pose

'Cause I don't wanna wake up losing altitude

I don't wanna wake up whispering the blues

I don't wanna wake up but what else can I do

I don't wanna wake up if it ain't next to you

And when the trumpets sound

They're gonna lay me down

In a long white gown

And slowly lower me underground

Let me die on a Sunday for to stay out of hell

Let me die on the subway could they even tell

Let me die when the war ends you could paint my face

Let me die in New Orleans I wanna march with them saints

'Cause I don't wanna wake up losing altitude

I don't wanna wake up whispering the blues

I don't wanna wake up but what else can I do

I don't wanna wake up if it ain't next to you

I don't wanna wake up if it ain't next to you
