once there was this sad sad he who was drowning in the spirit sea he played his morning minor chords and when i listened i could hear him sing wish i would die da da da die and once their was this sad sad she whose only love had tied down her heart she played her morning minor chords and when i listened i could hear her sing wish i would die da da da die but then one day she came this way she would sing and he would play his broken heart made her smile her broken smile made him cry come let us die just you and i baby let s try come let us die with wings we can fly and get really high come let us die da da da die
