Lyrics Brendan's Death Song Red Hot Chili Peppers

If I die before I get it done, will you decide? Take my words and turn them into signs that will survive Because a long time ago I knew not to deprive It's safe out there and now you're everywhere, just like the skies You are love, you are the love supreme, you are the rise And when you hear this, you know it's your jam, it's your goodbye Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song to carry me along Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong We all crossed when we were feeling lost, it's just the tide Katari cried the day her lover died, she recognized Because he gave her a life of real love, it's no surprise The nights are long but the years are short when you're alive Way back when would never be again, it was a time It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you, to walk the line Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong Come get me! Hey! Hey! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums he's gonna play my song to carry me along Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong Let me live So when it's time to die Even the reaper cries Let me die So when it's time to leave Another son will rise I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh! I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh! (I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!) Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone (I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!) And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song to carry me along (I said yeah! Yeah, yeah! Yeah, yeahhhh!) Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes to ferry me away to where we all belong Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone
