One Last Dance

I hated more than I loved
But I loved much stronger
And of the thousands of yesterday's I

Leave behind I hope one will visit you tomorrow
I sleep, I sleep deep, I sleep deep end no water wings
I sleep deep buried under autumn leaves
Deep face in the bottom of walking feet
I'll never find out what tomorrow
Brings, I no longer know what a tomorrow means
A light bulb shattered on a Toronto street
No voice to speak, no more to see
Goodbye Norma Jean, another candle stick kicked over, spilt wax
A burnt candle wick
Make up caked on my white vana skin
Black suit slipped on the body of my mannеquin
I could once walk, I could once run
I could once feel, but now I'm unpluggеd
No heartbeat, no blood pumped
A shell of the man that I once was

Come on baby light my fire, take me to the funeral pyre

All the kids now clap your hands, let's go down for one last dance

I used to be afraid of death
Until my dad told me never be afraid of what you can't stop
I found it kinda creepy but it made sense
And it helped me live strong every day since
Now you all wear black for my so long, my so long
Until it's your time to join me
And I hope that's not for another hundred
Years but you never know when ya gunna go
I don't mean to sound morbid, but look at me sleeping cold
It was all good just a week ago
You can't ignore the call when the reaper
Phones and now I'm with my parents or at least I hope
He's in a better place
They'll convince you but as I write this I'd rather be
Home
Then in a box with my lights out
On my way to some place nobody really knows
Honestly I prayed when it was
Convenient, to a God I never really believed in
Maybe I spoke to the wind
But the wind is a good listener, made my skin thicker
If I live to see tomorrow then tomorrow better be polite
Today, I'm grateful for my yesterday
Thank you for forgiving my mistakes made
Thanks for your sunshine on my gray days
The music that I leave behind
Every note is all yours for the taking
All yours, no matter where my soul goes

Just promise me you'll remember me tomorrow
Lights out...

Come on baby light my fire, take me to the funeral pyre
All the kids now clap your hands, let's go down for one last dance...
