[Verse 1]
The party is the thirteenth
Till the twenty-fourth, it's not so long to go
Though it doesn't show
My temperature is getting so low

[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen it all in a dream
I know just how it's gonna feel like
Not to be alive anymore

[Chorus]
I'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey
Tell me, will you remember me that day?
When you found a new one who is better than I ever was
I'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey
Please give all my things away, hey-hey
There'll be great Christmas presents
For you and for all my friends

[Verse 2]
It's hurting inside
To see you with another, from the edge of a cloud
Whatever happened to the promises that you gave
Before the angels took me away?
[Pre-Chorus]
So here I'm all dressed in white
While you're drinking up my best red wine
And you do realize that I'm with you all the time

[Chorus]
I'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey
Tell me, will you remember me that day?
When you found a new one who is better than I ever was
I'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey
Please give all my things away, hey-hey
There'll be great Christmas presents
For you and for all my friends

[Bridge]
It's getting so lonely without you
And I'm sure I am jealous too
To see another gun in my bed
Be sure I can't get no rest
Before you're up here with me (Come up, come up, come up, come up, come up, come up)

[Chorus]
I'll be dead this Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey
Leave the flowers on my grave, hey-hey
Sure, you could join me any day now, honey
You'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey
Lay beside me in the family grave, hey-hey
We'll be making love eternally in a spiritual way
[Post-Chorus]
We'll be dead by Christmas now, anyway, hey-hey
We'll sell everything away, hey-hey
Everybody's gonna die
We've got a life to live, a life after death

[Outro]
Dead by Christmas, dead and gone
Christmas is forever
Dead by Christmas, dead and gone
Christmas is forever
Dead by Christmas, dead and gone
Christmas is forever
Dead by Christmas, dead and gone
Christmas is forever
