Red Hot Chili Peppers - Brendan's Death Song

Live and die before I get it done, will you decide
I'll take my words and turn them into sounds, it will survive
Because a long time ago, I knew not to deprive

It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the sky
And you are love, you are the love supreme, you are the rye
And when you hear this, you know its your jam, it's your goodbye

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums, it's gonna play my song, to carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away, to where we all belong

We your cost, when we were feeling lost, it's just the time
Kateri cried, the day her lover died, she recognized
Because you gave her, a life of real love, it's no surprise

The nights are long, but the years are short, when you're alive
Way back when, will never be again, it was a time
It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you, to walk a line Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums, it's gonna play my song, to carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away, to where we all belong

Come get me, hey, hey
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums, it's gonna play my song, to carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away, to where we all belong

Then we live, so every time you die, he's in the revert sky
Lay me down, so when it's time to leave, another sun will rise
I said yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I said yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone.
(I said yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
And when the drummer drums, it's gonna play my song, to carry me along
(I said yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
(I said yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
And when the boatman comes to fairy me away, to where we all belong
(I said yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)

Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
