Dying in California Lyrics by The Band Royale

2017

[Verse 1]
I wanna die
Somewhere in Southern California
I’ll be tan and bloated and recently reloaded
I’ll vacation casually
I want to know you pay attention to me
Like the successful magic people you read about in People magazine
Those couples you can buy their first names
People who are so wealthy you need to be sane
I can’t be held responsible for dealing with the circumstance that fools yah
And oh the grandeur of it all
Never worry about the fall
You’re insecurity’s ferocious
But your debt will never choke us
[Chorus]
So take me out back and put a bullet in my head
If I can’t live like I want then I’d rather be dead
[Verse 2]
Let’s get rear wind
And lose our shit in the canyon
Let’s turn their (?)
Were all convinced that we’re magic
A story’s wonderfully tragic
Maybe a deal with the Devil
But a good deal’s a good deal’s a good deal’s a good deal
[Chorus]
So take me out back and put a bullet in my head
Just take me out back and put a bullet in my head
And if I can’t live like I want then I’d rather be dead
Just take me out back and put a bullet in my head
Put a bullet in my head
Taste of honey in my mouth
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
And when my heart comes
I will meet him halfway
At my funeral
They’ll all have such nice things to say
I can’t feel sorry
Can’t feel like I did anything wrong
Cause it just wouldn’t fit the narrative
What would the neighbors think, oh god forbid
[Chorus]
So take me out back and put a bullet in my head
Just take me out back and put a bullet in my head
If I can’t live like I want then I’d rather be dead
Just take me out back and put a bullet in my head
No I’d rather be dead
But the grandeur I’d find
The grandeur that’s mine
[Verse 4]
They may say they love you but they don’t
You may think they love you but they don’t
They could never love you because you don’t know what real love is
Oh just let that sink in
[Verse 5]
And the earth starts to moan
The ground it shivers and groans
Like a gaping (?) it swallows all the chosen
[Chorus]
So take me out back and put a bullet in my head
And just take me out back and put a bullet in my head
If I can’t live like I want then I’d rather be dead
Just take me out back and put a bullet in my head
Put a bullet in my head
Put a bullet in my head
[Outro]
Cause the grandeur that’s mine
The grandeur behind my eyes
When my heart comes
I will meet him halfway
At my funeral
They’ll have such nice things to say
When my heart comes
I will meet him halfway
At my funeral
They’ll have such nice things to say
