Death Better Take Me Dancing
You may want it tender; want to drift away in bed
With your family wreathed around you and a pillow for your head.
Or you may want a bonfire; strike a match and let it spark.
See it all go up in flames and let it burn out in the dark.

chorus:
But I want to go out dancing.
When I fall from grace
Just dip me into my resting place.
I'm going down swinging and stomping and stamping.
Death better take me dancing.

You may want a sunset; let 'em watch you ride away.
Tip your hat and turn your back and face your dying day.

chorus

bridge:
Or do you want to live forever?
What would you do with all that time?
How many people would you love and lose?
How many mountains would you climb?

I don't begrudge the Reaper; we all have a job to do.
But when he finally comes to court me,
I hope he's wearing stepping shoes.

chorus
