Die Like a Rich Boy

I need to find somebody who can tear me away

From the car crime babies and switchblade days

The bark of the unemployment hounds

And the thud of the thick white skull on the ground

I won't die in the bony arms of the state

To be laid to rest in the wake of a faded town

If the raincoats come to steal my home

There's a big white house at the end of the road

I can see you wrapped in Egyptian thread

In a marble garden immune to the mess

If you leave this world in a rhinestone shroud

We could finally make your father proud

If I leave this world in a loaded daze

I can finally have and eat my cake

I wanna die like a rich boy, diving

In a hydrocodone dream

And you can die like a rich girl by me

Oh how the magazines will grieve

I'll die like a rich boy, bathing

In a milk bath I could drown

I wanna die like a rich boy

Even if we're as poor as we are now

I wanna die like a rich boy, drowning

in a lake that bears my name

And you can die like a rich girl by me

Flushed and radiant with fame

I wanna lie in state on the TV

In a golden cardboard crown

I wanna die like a rich boy even if we're

As poor as we are now

I've found you now so tear me away

From the feral street they lumped us in

I'll be Shakespeare's moonstruck king

We can lose our minds at the top of the hill

We burn cash and carry a decadent flame

Way into the night and beyond the grave
