Catman Cohen Poet Ballad

How I Want To Die

There's a boy who's crying in sheer dread
I want to save him
From the gun that's pointed 'gainst his head
I want to save him

There's a girl who's shivering in the cold
I want to save her
From the knife pressed hard against her throat
I want to save her

I'll take a bullet from a gun
A knife wound in my chest
That's how I want to die
Just like a Catcher in the Rye

Bullet from a gun
Knife wound in my chest
That's how I want to die
Just like a Catcher in the Rye

Don't want to wither away
Feeling my body in decay

When my time comes
Let me go protecting God's little ones

Let me go quickly in Glory and Grace

There are kids who suffer everywhere
I want to save them
From the wounds that they can hardly bear
I want to save them

There's a boy who's crying in his sleep
I want to save them
From the angry man he could have been
I want to save them

I'll take a bullet from a gun
A knife wound in my chest
That's how I want to die
Just like a Catcher in the Rye

Bullet from a gun
Knife wound in my chest
That's how I want to die
Just like a Catcher in the Rye

How I want to die....
