WHAT TO DO

==============================

What you gonna do when I'm dead
See my ghost at the foot of your bed
Cry all night make a river of tears
Grab a bottle drown your fears
Or get a new partner
Turn your face to the sky
Have the time of your life on the day I die

What you gonna do when I'm gone
Curse the night
Hide your face from the dawn
Cash in my pension and buy a new hat
Let yourself go and get sloppy and fat
Are you gonna be lonely
Will you cut your hair
Will you whisper your name
Even though I'm not there

Oh what to do what to do
Could you live without me
Would I die without you

What about me should you happpen to go
Would I burn out fast or fade away slow
Will the nights be cigarettes, pity and wine
A smoking, smoldering death by design
Or will I get up
And take my soul for a ride
And live hard til we meet on the other side
