Brendan's Death Song Lyrics - Red Hot Chili Peppers

1 If I die before I get it done, will you decide?

2 Take my words and turn them into signs that will survive

3 Because a long time ago I knew not to deprive

4 It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the skies

5 You are love, you are the love supreme, you are the rise

6 And when you hear this, you know it's your jam, it's your goodbye

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

8 And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song to carry me along

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

10 And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

11 We all crossed when we were feeling lost, it's just the tide

12 Katari cried the day her lover died, she recognized

13 Because he gave her a life of real love, it's no surprise

14 The nights are long but the years are short when you're alive

15 Way back when would never be again, it was a time

16 It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you, to walk the line

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

18 And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along

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

20 And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

21 Come get me!

22 Hey! Hey!

23 Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

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

25 And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along

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

27 And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

28 Let me live

29 So when it's time to die

30 Even the reaper cries

31 Let me die

32 So when it's time to leave

33 Another son will rise

34 I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!

35 I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!

36 (I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!)

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

38 (I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!)

39 And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song to carry me along

40 (I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!)

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

42 And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong

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

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

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