Jay Brannan - A Death Waltz lyrics

rate me

I know this song has been written already

It's not gonna stop me from writing again

Not gonna lie, I don't really wanna live

I'd rather be honest than impressive

Nothing has changed, and it's 12 years later

I'm more of a child than I was back then

Positive thinking won't keep ships from sinking

I will jump unblinking off the plank, say when

[chorus]

This road is long, but my patience is not

And if I must face the gun squad again,

Then let me get shot

I will put on my dancing shoes,

While the gunmen are holding their breath

And scream, "one, two, three, one, two, three,

watch me, I'm waltzing with death"

If all you need is love, you won't find it

Even Dr. Love aches for his lady luck

He's self-prescribed, and she's bleary-eyed

I think this verse died, I wish my songs didn't suck

[chorus]

This road is long, but my patience is not

And if I must face the gun squad again,

Then let me get shot

I will put on my dancing shoes,

While the gunmen are holding their breath

And scream, "one, two, three, one, two, three,

watch me, I'm waltzing with death"

I keep hoping I will die while I'm sleeping

But I keep waking up with no alarm beeping

This punishment's cruel, but not so unusual

The years they fly by, but the moments, they're creeping

[chorus]

This road is long, but my patience is not

And if I must face the gun squad again,

Then let me get shot

I will put on my dancing shoes,

While the gunmen are holding their breath

And scream, "One, two, three, one, two, three,

watch me, I'm waltzing with...

One, two, three, one, two, three,

watch me, I'm waltzing with...

Two, three, one, two, three, watch me

I'm waltzing with death"
