I Am Not Long for This World

I’m calling in my favors, folks
It’s last call for all the beers that you owe me
I think you know where to meet me
Let’s go where all of the bartenders know me
Go on and bring your brothers
Why not invite my ex-girlfriends down?
Hey, only losers are weepers
You can tell them I won’t be seeing them around
I am not long for this world
Pat can have my guitar
Bill, I’m on my way to bring back your piece
I’ve got someone’s accordion
You know the one with the snakeskin keys
I’ve made my final arrangements
My sister knows how to dispose of my stuff
Tonight set fire to my basement
And if I’m lucky the flames won’t wake me up
I am not long for this world
(I am not long for this world)
I think you know where I’m headed
So I can use all the help I can get
Pretty sure that the sins committed
Are worse than the ones I haven’t got around to yet
So I’ve been thinkin' ‘bout penance
I think I’ll go and settle my tab
It’s been an awful short sentence
The crimes at the time didn’t seem so bad
I am not long for this world
So meet me, yeah meet me
At the Holy Ghost at noon
If you plan to see me
You better get there soon
I am not long for this world
I am not long for this world
I am not long for this world
