[Verse 1]
In the event of my demise
Pull a pennie from my eyes
Heads you get my gold
Tails you get my debt
In the event of my demise

[Verse 2]
If you should hear my name
Be a friend and please refrain
I'm saying we were friends
And let them tell their lies
In the event of my demise

[Chorus]
Oh no, look at them go
Didn't they love me so?
Oh great merciful fate
Guess it was worth the wait

[Verse 3]
When I was strong I fell
My body made me chase my tail
I was young and I was played
That all the plans we made
Would be unrealised
In the event of my demise
[Chorus]
Oh no, look at them go
Didn't they love me so?
Oh great, merciful fate
Guess it was worth the wait
I guess it was worth the wait
Guess it was worth the wait
