Lyrics
Mother, please don't be sad I didn't mean to die tonight But those robbers were so fast Their guns and their anger, and I lost the fight The ambulance attendants did all they can And I almost pulled through But in the end I won't see you tonight Mother, please don't be sad When we die (when we die) When we're high (when we're high) The gatekeeper hides, hides his eyes Lets us by When we're high When we die So mother, please don't be sad It's only me that's died tonight There's so much you still have Remember all the others That are still alive Their love will help you And so would I Remember to let the dogs outside 'Cause I won't be there tonight Mother, please don't be sad When we die (when we die) When we're high (when we're high) The gatekeeper hides Hides his eyes Lets us by When we're high When we die
