Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I see the morning hours
I'll have one more yesterday
Take life from tomorrow
'Cause I've burned out my today
[Verse 2]
If I get up to the top I know
I'll just go back downhill
I got a terminal future
And it's time to write my will
[Verse 3]
I down another glass of courage
And a shot of Thorazine
[Verse 4]
We're not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
We're not ready to see you yet
[Verse 5]
Got a short between the earphones
Wringing my hands in dismay
A more efficient maniac
With two feet in the grave
[Verse 6]
I ain't got no last words to say
Yellow streak right up my spine
The gun in my mouth was real
And the taste blew my mind, yeah
[Verse 7]
In a black tie and straight jacket
Man I'm gonna try again
[Verse 8]
We're not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
We're not ready to see you yet
[Verse 9]
We're not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
We're not ready to see you yet
[Verse 10]
Perhaps a demitasse of arsenic
Try on this tie
Never mind the tree
[Verse 11]
There is only death and danger
In the socket of my eye
A playground of illusion
No one plays, they only die
[Verse 12]
There's a prison in my mind
And the bars are gonna break
I'm as mad as a hatter
And strung out just the same
[Verse 13]
Taunting rigor mortis
I feel it draw me in
[Verse 14]
We're not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
We're not ready to see you yet
[Verse 15]
We're not ready to see you yet
99 ways to die
We're not ready to see you yet
[Verse 16]
We're not ready
We're not ready
We're not ready...
..99
