You gotta take me back outside
I don’t wanna die in the hospital
I don’t wanna die in the hospital
Help me get my boots back on
All I ever see are florescent lights
You gotta take me back outside
Looking like a girl in a sleeping gown
You gotta take me back outside
I don't wanna die
I don’t wanna die in this hospital
Are the stars still in the sky?
No, I don't wanna die in this hospital
You gotta take me back outside
But I don't wanna stay in this little room

I don't wanna die in this hospital
All there is to watch are these soap operas
As the cold wind calls for me
Ha, help me get my boots on

Help me get my boots on
Can you get this tube out of my arm?
I ain't gonna spend another lonesome day
You gotta take me back outside
Is that fat moon on the rise?
You gotta take me back outside
Before I take a ride in that long black hearse?
I don't wanna die in this hospital
I don’t wanna hear all this factory sounds
No, I ain’t gonna die in this hospital
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots on
I gotta go, go, go

All there ever was I remember still

I gotta go, go, go
Help me get my boots back on
Help me get my boots back on

They give me all these flowers and these big balloons
'Cause I don’t have long
Feel the earth against my feet

'Cos I don’t have long
I don’t wanna die in the hospital
I don’t give a damn what the doctors say

You gotta take me back outside
Morphine in my blood like a slow sad song
No, I ain't gonna die in this hospital

Help me get my boots on
No, I ain’t gonna die in this hospital
They don’t let you smoke and you can’t get drunk

Can you make a sound to distract the nurse
Is there still a world at my windowsill?
I don’t wanna die in the hospital
I don’t wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
I don’t wanna die in the hospital
You gotta take me back outside
Don’t know when it’s day or when it's night

Help me get my boots on
You gotta take me back outside
I don't wanna die in this hospital
Yeah, I ain’t gonna die in this hospital
Help me get my boots on
Help me get my boots back on
Oh, help me get my boots on
