Friday is the 13th, so 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
Like not to be alive anymore

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

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
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 here all the time

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 there with me
Come up, come up, come up, come up

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 now, 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

Dead by X-mas, dead and gone
X'mas is forever
We got a life to live, a life after death....
