John throw me into the water, I'm burning Don't lift me up til you see my eyes turning
They're rolling back in my head, rolling back in my head So cast of my soul and my sin, and leave me for dead
John what's my name, I'm falling for certain I'm looking for a rung but there's nothing believe me I'm searching
I'm going to hell, yes I'm going straight to hell So cast of my soul and my sin. and let them ring those bells
John feel the water holding down my chest Oh am I dying,
bring out the dead in the chorus line.
And they go (howl)
John will you buy me a pearly white casket, break my nose if I die pretty please man I'm asking
Where is my lover, yes where is my Mary Cast off my soul and my sin yes I've grown so weary
John feel the water filling up these lungs Oh am I dying I can taste death on my tongue
So bittersweet And I sing, (Howl)
When I die, when I die please bury me With two tokens right over these here eyes
Take me down to St.James infirmary man where I shall linger by and by Cuz I want those 6 crap shootin pallbearers
I want that chorus girl there to sing me her song
Put a punk rock band on my hearse wagon To raise hell as we roll along
John feel the water holding down my chest
Oh am I dying, bring out the dead in the chorus line.
And they go (howl)
John what's my name, John what's my name boy, John what's my name?
