  • What happens when we die?
    "No, don't ask questions, just make sure you survive"
    Lord, give me faith so I have boxes to tick
    And won't have to suffer the wonderwhy

    Bring on the days when I don't give up
    And all I ever seek is pleasure
    And I find thrill in sin and desire
    And warm my toes on Hell's fire

    Don't leave me here when I'm not sold
    Don't leave me here when I'm not sold
    Don't leave me here when I'm not sold

    Don't leave me here when I'm not sold
    Don't leave me here when I'm not sold
    Don't leave me here when I'm not sold

    Don't leave me here
    Leave me thinking for myself
    When I can't remember the days of the week
    The weeks of the month, and the months of the year
    Where do we go? Go from here?
    Sit writing lists and just wait for things to appear?

    Don't leave me here at sixes and sevens
    Shot to pieces begging the heavens
    Begging hellfire and rattling the gate
    Starting a riot and planning escape
    Baby's growing up and asking questions
    Looking for help for life in lessons
    Baby's growing up, a life explosion
    Drinking the milk, but locking the bedroom

    Don't leave me here, I'm not sold
    Don't leave me here, I'm not sold

    I spied you on the tall brick wall
    You sat smoking cigarettes
    Teach me, teach me, teach me rock 'n' roll

    No, I'm not a fighter
    I'm just angry all the time
    So teach me, teach me, teach me rock 'n' roll

    My love bends rules
    My love is cool
    My love bends rules
    My love is cool
    La-la-la-la la-la-la-la
    La-la-la-la la-la-la-la Writer/s: Ellen Ciara Rowsell, Joel Donald Scott Amey, Jonathan David Oddie, Theodore Joseph Ellis
