I don't want to die in the hospital

I don't want to die in the hospital

I don't want to die in the hospital

You got to take me back outside.

I don't want to hear all these factory sounds

Looking like a girl in this sleeping gown

I don't want to die in the hospital

You got to take me back outside.

Can you make a sound to distract the nurse

Before I take a ride in that long black hearse

I don't want to die in the hospital

You go to take me back outside.

Ah, help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots back on

Help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots back on.

I go to go, go, go, go

'cause I don't have long.

I don't give a damn what the doctors say

I ain't gonna spend another lonesome day

I don't want to die in the hospital

You go to take me back outside.

And they don't let you smoke and you can't get drunk

All there is to watch are these soap operas

I don't want to die in the hospital

You got to take me back outside.

Can you get this tube out of my arm?

Morphine in my blood like a slow sad song

I don't want to die in the hospital

You got to take me back outside.

Ah, help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots back on

Help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots back on.

I got to go, go, go

'cause I don't have long.

Is there still a world at my windowsill

All there ever was I remember still

I don't want to die in this hospital

You got to take me back outside.

Don't know when it's day or when it's night

All I ever see are florescent lights

I don't want to die in this hospital

You got to take me back outside.

They give me all these flowers and these big balloons

But I don't want to stay in this little room

I don't want to die in this hospital

I don't want to die.

Are the stars still in the sky?

Is that fat moon on the rise?

Feel the earth's against my feet

As the cold wind calls for me.

I don't want to die in this hospital

No, I don't want to die in this hospital

No, I ain't gonna die in this hospital

You got to take me back outside.

Yeah, I ain't gonna die in this hospital

No, I ain't gonna die in this hospital

No, I ain't gonna die in this hospital

You're gonna take me back outside.
