The party is the 13th 'til the 24th
It's not so long to go though it doesn't show
My temperature is getting so low
I've seen it all in a dream
I know just how it's gonna feel like
Not to be alive anymore

I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway, hey, hey
Tell me will you remember me that day
When you found a new one who is better than I ever was
I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway, hey, hey
Please give all my things away, hey, hey
There'll be great Christmas presents
For you and for all my friends

It's hurting inside to see you with another
From the edge of a cloud
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave
Before the angels took me away?
So here I'm all dressed in white
While you're drinking up my best red wine
And do you do realize that I'm with you all the time

I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway, hey, hey
Tell me will you remember me that day
When you found a new one who was better than I ever was?
I'll be dead by Christmas now anyway, hey, hey
Please give all my things away, hey, hey
There'll be great Christmas presents
For you and for all my friends

I'm getting so lonely without you
And I'm sure I am jealous too
To see another gun in my bed
Reasure I can't get no rest before you're up here with me
(Come up, come up, come up, come up, come up, come up)

I'll be dead since Christmas now anyway, hey, hey
Leave the flowers on my grave, hey, hey
Sure you could join me any day now, honey
You'll be dead by Christmas now anyway, hey, hey
Lay beside me in the family grave, hey, hey
We'll be making love eternally in a spirital way

We'll be dead by Christmas now anyway, hey, hey
We'll sell everything away, hey, hey
Everybody's gonna die
We've got a life to live
A life after death

Goodbye Christmas day I'm gone
Christmas is forever
Goodbye Christmas day I'm gone
Christmas is forever
