lyrics

She looked at me and asked
Are you drunk or depressed
Maybe you know me far to well
A little bit of both I said and smiled

Give me a cigarette, I wanna smoke
Light it for me baby, we can die together

I inhaled, felt a burning sensation
Like when I met her the first time
We sat alone in the darkest corner of the room
Talking about how it feels to die

The music was loud, people were dancing
Everyone is pretending that they are not alone
I looked at the girl right across the table
She looked at me and I felt like the sun again

She told me don't be happy, it is over soon
And then we'll both be looking for another one
I nodded at her and bought another beer
That's the only company that won't go away

And then he came in through the door
The reaper in a black coat, oh no!
I know what you want, he said to me
But it is her I came for you'll have to stay
