Dead By X-Mas

[Verse 1]
Friday is the 13th, to 24th is not so long to go
Though my face don't show, my temperature is gettin' too-o low
I've seen it all in a dream, I know just how it's gonna feel
I'd like not to be alive anymore

[Chorus 1]
I'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
Tell me will you remember me that day
When you've found a new one who's better than I ever was
I'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
Please give all my things away
They'll make great X-mas presents for you and for all my friends

[Verse 2]
It hurts so inside to see you with another from the edge of a cloud
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave
Before the angels took me away
So here I'm all dressed in white
While you're drinking up my best red wine
And you don't even realize I'm with you all the time

[Chorus 1]
I'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
Tell me will you remember me that day
When you've found a new one who's better than I ever was
I'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
Please give all my things away
They'll make great X-mas presents for you and for all my friends

[Bridge]
It's getting so lonely without you
And I'm sure I am jealous too
To see another man in my bed
Be sure I can't get no rest before you're up here with me
(Come up, come up, come up, come up)

[Chorus 2]
I've been dead since X-mas now anyway
So leave the flowers on my grave
There's sure a way you could join me any day around, honey
You'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
You'll lay beside me in our family grave
We'll be making love eternally, in a spiritual way
We'll be dead by X-mas now anyway
We'll sell everything away
We got a life to live, a life after death

[Outro]
Dead by Christmas, dead and gone
Christmas is forever
Dead by Christmas...
