I Want To Live

And Morning Glory

~ This Mortal Coil ~

From Filigree & Shadow (1986)

I've gathered all my lifetime memories of you.

My lusty sentiments they made life seem true.

I'm rather selfish and I mean to be unkind.

You can't imagine what it does to me inside.

But where am I? I want to die.

I want to live. I want to die.

If I were someone I would like to be a fool.

No one would know me and I think that would be cool.

I'd paint a picture of my life upon your wall.

And use the colors that have made life seem small.

But where am I? I want to die.

I want to live. I want to die.

But you've got a way of understanding me.

And I just call it one of your mysteries

But you know that you've got to stay close to me, close to me.

But where am I? I want to die.

But where am I? I want to die.

I want to die.

I want to give.

I want to die.

Die die die die,

Die die die die.
