Dying With My Boots On

Join the Church of the Immaculate Preconception
Free at last
Great god almighty
Free, free, free at last
Picking out some new gods
A new Adam and Eve
Pass me the crown of barbed wire
Give me a donation and watch me bleed

I'm dying with my boots on

Can't see, hear, smell anymore
I'm close to the bone
Got about as much taste left as Liberace
Legionnaire's disease
Another nail in the coffin
And for my next trick I shall die
But I'll be laughing when it comes the time for the inquisition line

I'm dying with my boots on

Finish me with a hatchet

I'm dying with my boots on

Headed for my funeral
It's all Greek to me
Living is a horror
Living is a horizontal fall
Spend all your life acting out chapters of your autobiography
Life ain't worth the paper that it's printed on
So I'm going to sit right down and write myself a death certificate
Another nail in the coffin
Another kidney stone to hurl

End of the world
Of the spectacle
Or the spectacle of the end of the world
