Hell or highwater

Now and again i write a few famous last words
To ease my mind
To ease my mind now

That fate and i are so well acquainted
I needed peace of mind
Some peace of mind

So if the end should come before today were done
It would be alright
Just let my hair be done and my suitcoat on
And it would be alright

Hell or highwater my closest friends
Always beside me to the end
Please don't betray me and let me forget
Just who i am

Now and again i write some new famous last words
To ease my mind
To ease my mind

Since my future is full of misfortune
I've little time
Little time

Cos every word i say could be the last hooray
But that's o.k.
No blindfold no cigarette
That's just the way i'll have it
But that's o.k.

Hell or highwater my closest friends
Always beside me to the end
Please don't betray me and let me forget
Just who i am
