Don’t withhold my Nembutal
when the final time has come
I’m going soon, I’m going well.
So, don’t withhold my Nembutal.
I don’t need your morals lesson
nor your totally empty gesture
it’s the same road to heaven and hell.
There comes a time in every life
when we hear the message clear
“Come in number 7 your times up.
We know that soon we will be
crossing the bar for the last time.
I’m going soon, I’m going well.
So, don’t withhold my Nembutal
