(Intro)
Hey hey
Hey hey
Hey hey
(Verse)
A little boy ran up to me, tucked on pent leg and asked me hey mister
Can I sing you a song?
Well I donât see why not, but why me?
And if I know the words, would you mind if I sing along?
Youâve never heard this one mister
See I wrote it this morning and the only one Whoâs heard it is The Lord
I was coloring in my basement and singing to myself when upstairs I heard a chair hit the wall
The dog started barking, and mom started crying
And daddy started screaming may God save you all
So I ran and I sang and I sang my new song to forget about the pain in my heart
Then I noticed the bruise blooming on the boyâs cheek
Then his voice started breaking my heart
Son, how do you feel?
He told me a lie, he held my hand and sang
(Hook)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
(Verse)
I was sipping on a beverage at a watering hole three blocks away from where I pay my rent
Roxy music spoke to me through the jukebox I whispered with fairy and stared at my drink
To my rightâs had a female with tears in her eyes, she was gray but her beauty was bright
Like the diamond the wore, she sparkled, she spoke the moment my stare caught her eye
She said we would dance, I tell you we danced like swans
We moved just like gingerbread thread
We kissed in September, we cried through October and now Iâll never kiss him again
Son, be grateful youâre young
âCause before you know it youâre lost in the snows
And the hands that you held while you fought through the blizzard are gone
Along with your mittens and coat
Now Iâm too old to walk on my own
My crutch was stolen, now I walk with a cane
As long as Iâm here Iâll keep this glass filled half
She laughed then she held my hand and sang
(Hook)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
(Interlude)
Right now I need everybody to put their hands in the air
Your cellphones, your lighters, your drinks, your drugs
And I want everybody to sing like youâre singing to heaven
Sing with me likeâ¦
(Hook)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
La la la la la la la la la la
(When we die, we die together)
