Oh when I die

Just flank me on both sides

Bottle of whiskey in one hand,

Pack of smokes in the other

But oh, don't cry for me


When I'm gone

I know it won't be so great

And when there's only four people there

All trying to remember my name

Oh no, don't cry for me


When I die

There won't be much to say

Just one less bastard in the world

I won't leave much love behind

But no, don't cry for me


When I'm gone

Don't think about the good times
Think of the bad ones

The ones that fill you with rage

But oh, don't cry for me


When I die

There won't be much left

But burn it all

Hang me by the highway

Oh no, don't cry for me


When I'm gone

And the preacher can't think of anything to say

Tell him I'm in hell, 

Playing poker with Hitler

But oh, don't cry for me


Don't cry for me

I'll be crying for you

Sounds a little personal to me.
I like it.

Well, I don't know what you tell you about your earth shattering idea. But often I find that those 2AM ideas are never as clear the next day as they were before. Sometimes I think you have to be in just the right state to understand what it is your mind was hovering around.
