Lyrics[]

Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty eyes
I'll be seeing you again
Yeah, I'll be seeing you... in Hell

So don't cry to me, oh, baby
Your future's in an oblong box
Don't cry to me, oh, baby
You should have seen it a-coming on 
Don't cry to me, oh, baby
I don't know it was in your card
Don't cry to me, oh, baby
Dead-end soul for a dead-end girl
Don't cry to me, oh, baby
And now your life drains on the floor
Don't cry to me, oh, baby

Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty mouth
I'll be seeing you again, yeah
I'll be seeing you... in Hell! 

So don't cry to me, oh, baby
Your future's in an oblong box
Don't cry to me, oh, baby
You should have seen it a-coming on
Don't cry to me, oh, baby
I don't know it was in your card
Don't cry to me, oh, baby
Dead-end soul for a dead-end girl
Don't cry to me, oh, baby
And now your life drains on the floor
Don't cry to me, oh, baby

Die, die, die my darling
Don't utter a single word
Die, die, die my darling
Just shut your pretty mouth
I'll be seeing you again
I'll be seeing you... in Hell!

Die, die, die
Die, die, die
Die, die, die
