If You Want To Die In Bed - Highlights Version / Live From The Prince Edward Theatre, London / 2014
If you want to die in bed
Follow my example
When you see a cloud ahead
It's time to show your class
Hit the door before
They make a target of your ass
If you want to die in bed
In times of revolution
When the flag they fly is red
Let pride fill up your chest
Meanwhile pack your sack
And take the first boat heading west
My precious souvenirs
Of all the golden years
Rolex watches in steel
That look practically real
I'll need a little stock
To start me in Bangkok!
If you want to die in bed
Forget about your karma
When your life hangs by a thread
Don't cry about the fates
Grab a stasg of casg
And plan a rest'rant in the States
Let me stop for a bit
This was my greatest hit
Miss Saigon, in her crown
I made queen of the town
I got e'm paying more
For just another whore
Here I come
U.S.A
Your next champ's
On his way
For men will always be men
Thr rules are the same
For kings or for clerks
Show me francs, or dollars, or yen
I'll set up a game
I know how it works
Why was I born of a race
That thinks only of rice
And hates entrepeneurs?
Me I belong in a place
Where a man sets his price
And you pay, and he's yours
I should be - American!
Where every promise lands
And every buisnessman knows where he stands
First stop Bangkok then I roam
Cross that ocean white with foam
To the place that's my heart's true home
If you want to die in bed
En route to your nirvana
You grab your chance and plunge ahead
And go where people win
Heaven's there - But shit
You need a visa to get in!
Follow my example
When you see a cloud ahead
It's time to show your class
Hit the door before
They make a target of your ass
If you want to die in bed
In times of revolution
When the flag they fly is red
Let pride fill up your chest
Meanwhile pack your sack
And take the first boat heading west
My precious souvenirs
Of all the golden years
Rolex watches in steel
That look practically real
I'll need a little stock
To start me in Bangkok!
If you want to die in bed
Forget about your karma
When your life hangs by a thread
Don't cry about the fates
Grab a stasg of casg
And plan a rest'rant in the States
Let me stop for a bit
This was my greatest hit
Miss Saigon, in her crown
I made queen of the town
I got e'm paying more
For just another whore
Here I come
U.S.A
Your next champ's
On his way
For men will always be men
Thr rules are the same
For kings or for clerks
Show me francs, or dollars, or yen
I'll set up a game

To the place that's my heart's true home
If you want to die in bed
En route to your nirvana
You grab your chance and plunge ahead
And go where people win
Heaven's there - But shit
You need a visa to get in!
