Lyrics

[Verse 1] If I see the morning hours I'll have one more yesterday Take life from tomorrow Because I've burned out my today If I get up to the top I know I'll just go back downhill I've got a terminal future And it's time to write my will [Pre-Chorus 1] I downed another glass of courage And a shot of Thorazine [Chorus] We're not ready to see you yet 99 ways to die We're not ready to see you yet [Verse 2] Got a short between the earphones Wringing my hands in dismay A more efficient maniac With two feet in the grave Ain't got no last words to say Yellow streak right up my spine The gun in my mouth was real And the taste blew my mind [Pre-Chorus 2] In a black tie and straightjacket Man, I'm going to try again [Chorus] We're not ready to see you yet 99 ways to die We're not ready to see you yet We're not ready to see you yet 99 ways to die We're not ready to see you yet [Instrumental Break] [Guitar Solo: Marty Friedman] [Bridge] Perhaps a demitasse of arsenic Try on this tie Nevermind the tree [Verse 3] There is only death and danger In the socket of my eye A playground of illusion No one plays, they only die There's a prison in my mind And the bars are gonna break I'm as mad as a hatter And strung out just the same [Pre-Chorus 3] Taunting rigor mortis I feel it draw me in [Chorus] We're not ready to see you yet 99 ways to die We're not ready to see you yet We're not ready to see you yet 99 ways to die We're not ready to see you yet [Outro] We're not ready We're not ready We're not ready 99, 99
