When I Die

Yes I've been without, been down and out

Out on a limb with nowhere to go

I was told it would be one less thing on my mind

Not to worry about, all the paying out

The piles of bills and final demands

They'd all be sorted when I die

I was going off the rails, no matter how I tried

If all else fails failed and part of me just died

And nothing ever changes, forever stuck on my tune

Baby I was born to lose

Then my luck came in, I got a lucky win

Hundreds of thousands and thousands of friends

Had no more worries for a time

Didn't care about if I was paying out

Its there to enjoy, have it on me

Can't take it with you when you die

I was back on happy trails, I didn't have to try

The wind was in my sails, I was so happy I could cry

Cos "nothing changes" changed, I felt like time was on my side

I was happy and I really felt alive

When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down

I'm crawling around on the ground

I've been wondering, wondering why

Wondering why life's so up and down

A sense of irony sweeping over me

Back in the jug again ain't that swell

Incurable nothing I could buy

Don't want no policy, to totally cover me

No hidden small print to sell my soul to hell

No parting gesture to say goodbye

Well you can stick your bonds and bails where the sun don't shine

I'm not going to be pleasant,you can think what you like

Cos if it ever changes it goes from bad to worse

I might as well face it man I'm cursed

When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down

I'm crawling around on the ground

I've been wondering, wondering why

Wondering why life's so up and down

When I'm falling, I'm tumbling down

I'm crawling around on the ground

I've been wondering, wondering why

Wondering why life's so up and down
