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