Friday is the 13th, so to 24th is not so long to go Though my face don't show My temperature is gettin' too-o 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 X-mas now anyway Tell me will you remember me that day When you've found a new one who's better than I ever was I'll be dead by X-mas now anyway Please give all my things away They'll make great X-mas presents for you and for all my friends

It hurts so 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 Here I'm all dressed in white While you're drinking up my best red wine And you don't even realize I'm with you here all the time

It's getting so lonely without you And I'm sure I am jealous too to see another man in my bed Be sure I can't get no rest before you're up there with me Come up, come up, come up, come up

I've been dead since X-mas now anyway So leave the flowers on my grave There's sure a way you could join me any day around now, honey You'll be dead by X-mas now anyway You'll Lay beside me in our family grave We'll be making love eternally, In a spiritual way

We'll be dead by X-mas now anyway We'll sell everything away

Dead by X-mas, dead and gone X'mas is forever We got a life to live, a life after death....
