In the event of my demise
Pull a pennie from my eyes
Heads you get my gold
Tales you get my debt
In the event of my demise

If you should hear my name
Be a friend and please refrain
I'm saying we were friends
And let them tell their lies
In the event of my demise

Oh no, look at them go
Didn't they love me so?
Oh great, merciful fate
Guess it was worth the wait
Yes, it was worth the wait

When I was strong I fell
My body made me chase my tale
I was young and I was played
That all the plans we made
Would be unrealised
In the event of my demise

Oh no, look at them go
Didn't they love me so?
Oh great, merciful fate
I guess it was worth the wait
Oh yes, it was worth the wait
I guess it was worth the wait
Oh yes, it was worth the wait
