When I Died

When I Die The Thermals The Earth was too hot, The air was too thin I took off my clothes, I took off my skin I crawled to the sea that was calling for me so I could swim... Yeah, so I could swim! x2 I was sick of the land, I was sick from the heat, I was sick of the sun and the sky and the trees, Over the air that I needed to breathe When I held with my hands, when I walked on my feet I took off my clothes, I took off my skin Started shedding my arms to start getting my fins Crawled to the sea that was calling for me so I could swim, Swim the ocean wide I was only just past the low tide When I died When I died Yeah, when I died My head did swell I said to myself Nature sure took her sweet time I was already losing my spine I was sick with horror when my curtain fell It's the end of the story I was certain to tell Watching their faces as they pulled me from the sea Feeling for the place I thought my gills would be Busted and wrecked, justly infected My body beyond repair Had no objection, sir, my only questions were Where do I go and will I know when I'm there? But I really couldn't say that I cared When I died When I died Yeah, when I died My head did swell I said to myself Nature sure took her sweet time I was already losing Yeah, my spine! (I was already losing my spine If life was short, at least it was short) The Earth was too hot, The air was too thin I took off my clothes, I took off my skin I crawled to the sea that was calling for me so I could swim... Yeah, so I could swim! x2 When I died When I died Yeah, when I died My head did swell I said to myself Nature sure took her sweet time I was already losing Yeah, my spine!
