I woke up thirsty on an island in the sea
I woke up hungry with hungry cougars surrounding me
I hit the soft spot on the soft spot on my head
It made me tired so I sung from my bed
"I'm ready to die, I'm ready to die, I'm ready to die"

A sword, a switchblade, any way you cut it
I'm not afraid, I know I'm going to get it
Oh, maker of such fine products
As palm trees, and the dead sea

Don't pardon me, there's nothing rude
Things conclude, things conclude!

As I slurred that chorus
The ghosts got Biggie Small sounds like a drill
The death sweat suits me
A death threat provides a thrill
I've seen the world, kissed all the pretty girls
I've said my goodbyes and now I'm ready to die

Hot damn, I forgot about these fellas! I want to know who will cut my hair when I'm dead, though.

Easy to forget, they only had the one full album before they broke up and reformed as Islands.

Still... this song has sat rent free in my head ever since the album came out.

Ahh, I didn't know they reformed, I haven't listened to Islands (or heard of them...). Thanks!
