Ways to Die

Thinking of ways to die Maybe a crocodile or shark Or a fall from somewhere high Drown in a lake Grab a live-wire Or bit by a snake And set on fire Frozen in snow Or one wrong step Down a volcano Fall on a sword Virus from bat Tangled in cord Too horrible is that A piercing gone wrong Chute didn't open Bunjee too long A fatal attraction A knife in the back A head-on collision A terrorist attack Hit by a car Venereal disease My favorite so far Crush'd in a cave[in] Mars Attacks The beautiful maiden Tied to train tracks Some say the best way to go Is unexpected'n quick But I think the best way to go is actually slow With a lovely redhead A star of the stage Sharing my bed As we die of old age
