When I Die (Play This at My Funeral)
They set his world on fire and hoped that he would let it burn.
Oh, they sleep with one eye open always counting on his worst.
Well, he's counting on their worst.
Give him just a little reason to bleed,
by all means,
let him suffocate.
He's just a simple problem-addict,
lacking silhouettes and shame.
At least he's dressed to the nines on his way out of town.
I've got a nasty reputation.
But your way with words was always something criminal.
So tonight I'll dine in conversation
or fall asleep to the way that you make me move.
Light the atmosphere for me tonight.
Oh, god it's only for the show,
so make believe for me.
Give him just a little reason to bleed,
by all means,
let him suffocate.
He's just a simple problem-addict,
lacking silhouettes and shame.
At least have the decency in admitting that
you were so wrong.
And don't mourn for me my friends 'cause you know,
you can't save what's already dead.
I'm a mess, I'm a mess, I'm a mess.
Mmm, I'm a me-yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah.
Look at it, look at it.
Look at your...
Smooth-talking, fancy walking, charismatic mess you've made.
(So smooth 3x)
Just a dash of problem-addicts lacking silhouettes and shame.
(So smooth 3x)
At least have the decency in admitting that you were
so wrong, so wrong, so wrong.
And don't mourn for me my friend, 'cause you know,
you can't save what's already dead!
You can't save, you can't save my soul.
I'm a mess, I'm a mess, I'm a mess.
We're just so smooth.
So smooth, so smooth, so smooth
