Last night I had a dream Oh, she was laying in her bed, thinking of me Painting pictures on her pillowcase with makeup and saline At the same time I just left I painted birds on my chest and I headed west With a military sack on a Norton four-fifty And everything I had left, everything I thought I'd known Turned to anchors on my feet, man Turned my heart right into stone And now I'm praying to God Praying to God that those birds keep me afloat 'Cause man, I don't want to die alone At a Kansas City bar, an old man said, "You know it's true Well, pretty girls, they make graves And I bet this one will be the d**h of you 'Cause even, even, even I can count all of times A pretty little girl has helped me die The only one I still know The only one that mattered most I tattooed her name right on my arm Inside a banner rapped around a rose And now I'm praying to God Praying to God that her love keeps me afloat 'Cause man, I don't want to die alone" I don't want to die alone And now I'm praying to God, praying to God Praying to God, praying to God Praying to God, praying to God Praying to God, praying to God 'Cause I don't want to die alone I don't want to die alone I don't want to die alone, yeah
