Got a cherry bomb,
but no fourth of July
In the mood for cruising,
But no motorbike to ride
Pocketful of bullets,
but no pistol on my side
& don't you worry about me when I die
If I should die in my sleep
Don't you cry don't you weep
Just a brief salute or blow a kiss goodbye
Don't be sad when I'm gone
Box me up & move me on
When I die, when I die, when I die
Up to here in olives,
but I'm fresh out of gin
Got t-shirts but no memories
Of all the places that I've been
& I can't lose this halo when I'm
In the mood for sin
& you won't catch me back this way again
Doctor says I'm nervous,
& I can't settle down
Won't be feeling better 'til I'm
Ten miles out of town
He gave me a little something, just to
Bring the fever down
So don't you worry if I don't come around
