The party is the thirteenth Till the twenty-fourth, it's not so long to go Though it doesn't show My temperature is getting so low I've seen it all in a dream I know just how it's gonna feel like Not to be alive anymore I'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey Tell me, will you remember me that day? When you found a new one who is better than I ever was I'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey Please give all my things away, hey-hey There'll be great Christmas presents For you and for all my friends It's hurting inside To see you with another, from the edge of a cloud Whatever happened to the promises that you gave Before the angels took me away? So here I'm all dressed in white While you're drinking up my best red wine And you do realize that I'm with you all the time I'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey Tell me, will you remember me that day? When you found a new one who is better than I ever was I'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey Please give all my things away, hey-hey There'll be great Christmas presents For you and for all my friends It's getting so lonely without you And I'm sure I am jealous too To see another gun in my bed Be sure I can't get no rest Before you're up here with me (Come up, come up, come up, come up, come up, come up) I'll be dead this Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey Leave the flowers on my grave, hey-hey Sure, you could join me any day now, honey You'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey Lay beside me in the family grave, hey-hey We'll be making love eternally in a spiritual way We'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey We'll sell everything away, hey-hey Everybody's gonna die We've got a life to live, a life after death Dead by Christmas, dead and gone Christmas is forever Dead by Christmas, dead and gone Christmas is forever Dead by Christmas, dead and gone Christmas is forever Dead by Christmas, dead and gone Christmas is forever
