( Death song lyrics )
DEATH MAY BE TRYING TO KILL ME
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

6/8
1: This probably sounds just a bit paranoid.
To you this may seem a bit weird.
But lately in life, I've encountered some strife
and some reasons that I should have fear.

2: I've noticed some signs and some indications
that seem to be falling in line.
& starting at birth through my span on this earth,
it now seems that I've run out of time.

CHORUS:
Death may be trying to kill me.
Death has it in for my bones.
No matter how, by yourself, in a crowd,
you still end up dying alone.

3: A grave opens up while I'm paying respects
and just about swallows me whole.
A TV falls down seven floors to the ground
while I'm out on a leisurely stroll.

4: My brake system fails on a steep mountain road.
A rattlesnake sneaks in my home.
Another close call when I just about fall
off a bridge, pushed by someone unknown.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
Thirteen vultures have been circling over my head.
Thirteen vultures, pretty sure that I'll soon be dead.

5: A bullet just missed off the side of my nose.
My parachute slams in a tree.
I'm really disturbed when a bus jumps the curb,
crashing into the wall next to me.

6: If Death really wanted to be ending my life,
why doesn't he just do me in?
But doesn't he know "trying"'s always no show
and he'll just have to do it to win?
CHORUS:
