Anthony D’Amato - Good and Ready lyrics

Let me die in a heartbeat
Not slow and steady
Let me die in my sleep when I’m good & ready
Let me die in the ocean
You can bury me at sea
Let me die in a coat train
You can burn my body
Let me die in the dessert, in the 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 want to wake up, whispering the blues
I don’t wanna wake up, what else can I do?
I don’t want to wake up if
It ain’t next to you
Let me die in my new suit
I want to look my best
Let me die maybe real soon
I could use the rest
Let me die in a bar fight with a broken nose
Let me die in spotlight
You could pick my pose
‘Cause, I don’t wanna wake up losing altitude
I don’t want to wake up, whispering the blues
I don’t wanna wake up, what else can I do?
I don’t want to wake up if
It ain’t next to you when the trumpet sounds
(when the trumpet sounds)
They gon’na lay me down
(they gon’na lay me down)
In a long white gown (in a long white gown)
Slowly lower me underground
Let me die on a Sunday for to stay outta 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 wan’na march with ‘em saints
‘Cause, I don’t wanna wake up losing altitude
I don’t want to wake up, whispering the blues
I don’t wanna wake up, what else can I do?
I don’t want to wake up if
It ain’t next to you
I don’t want to wake up if
It ain’t next to you
