Die Young

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

So Mike wakes up, his taste buds from moms pancakes
He's late for work, it's eight, but wait, yesterday was his birthday
You know how that goes, he drank a little too much, had fun

Blew a few blunts so he decided to call in late for work, he'll be in at lunch
His boss said it was fine, wasn't mad at all
Mike was a great person, in fact, he had it all

Charm, charisma, a man always standing tall
Even took a taxi home from all the alchohol, he was responsible
He made the impossible look possible

He had the same job for 20 years at the same hospital
Today's the first day of spring, he's looking out the porch window, he can hear the birds sing
He's got a smile on his face, takes a deep breath and thats when the motherfucking phone rings

His mom's in the hospital, in critical condition
He drops the phone and throws some clothes on, I can't express how he's feeling
He dashes to his car screaming, God please help

Jumps in the ride, rides off, forgets to vasten his seatbelt
He's flipping out screaming, I gotta be dreaming
She's too young to be leaving, presses on the gas, go ahead speed demon

Too much traffic so he's swerving in the lanes
Passed a red light, times slows down
That's when another car hits his side and Mike goes down

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Crystal wakes up from a long night, she's feeling alright
Looks around, only thing that she's missing is a love life
As much as she puts up a front, she's dying inside

Always smiles and cracks jokes but she's crying inside
So back to the story at hand, she's 23 looking for a glorious man
Did I mention she has a little boy but I think she's lost cause the guy that she talks to

Don't want nothing to do with her cause of her child, so she falls into depression, awesome
Not cool and now her attitude is nuts too
Like who are you dude? I don't trust you, get out of my face, fuck you

A lot of anger pent up, she used to have inner beauty
Now she's in her booty, and barely shows an inner cutie
She drinks herself to sleep after work, who woulda thought laughter hurts?

To her, it kills her after every slurp
Tonight she thinks why the hell is she on this worthless earth so she decides to do something stupid
She sneaks in her parents room and take's the gun so she can use it

Like teaching her ex a lesson for being so abusive
Now let me remind you, she's been drinking like a psychotic abused chick
Headed to the door and her child is sitting on the couch
Looks at her and says momma, where's daddy? I miss him
I'll be back honey, I'll be sure to kiss him

If I die young, bury me in Satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Yeah, who is it?
It's me, open up the door, it's raining
What, what do you want?

Just open up the door, hurry up, I gotta talk to you
Okay but you've got five minutes then you gotta go
Hey!
Crystal, what is that?

Huh, No, no!
I fucking loved you!
I'm so sorry baby, I can't take this anymore

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
