lyrics

When I die I hope my eyes will close
And the heat from all my sins will go cold
When I die I know my mouth will be wide open
Because it will be familiar unto itself
When I die I hope it’s graceful and clean
A pretty postcard preceding eternity

When I die I hope I’m ready so I can embrace it like a hug from my lover
Opening up my soul, continuing on its pre-planned flight when I die…

When I die I wanna come back as Jackie Chan
and kick a little…with a smile
When I die I hope it will trigger some good
maybe for the soil or environment
Lord please don’t take me in vain
Maybe for change
Not dimes and nickels
But common sense for something good
when I die…

The last thing to grace my sight before I blink into the eternal
I pray it will give comfort to ease the transition
to offer peace in the end,
offering peace in the end,
offering peace in the end
(Vamp)

When I die I know my eyes will close
and the heat from all of my sins will go cold
When I die I hope it will trigger some good
maybe for the soil or environment
or for my neighborhood
When I die…
