Mother Please Don't Be Sad

Lyrics

Mother, please don't be sad
 I didn't mean to die tonight
 But those robbers were so fast
 Their guns and their anger, and I lost the fight
 The ambulance attendants did all they can
 And I almost pulled through
 But in the end
 I won't see you tonight
 Mother, please don't be sad
 When we die (when we die)
 When we're high (when we're high)
 The gatekeeper hides, hides his eyes
 Lets us by
 When we're high
 When we die
 ♪
 So mother, please don't be sad
 It's only me that's died tonight
 There's so much you still have
 Remember all the others
 That are still alive
 Their love will help you
 And so would I
 Remember to let the dogs outside
 'Cause I won't be there tonight
 Mother, please don't be sad
 When we die (when we die)
 When we're high (when we're high)
 The gatekeeper hides
 Hides his eyes
 Lets us by
 When we're high
 When we die
