Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
It's hiding in the light
It's hiding in the light
Something just ain't right
It's hiding in the light
It's hiding in the light
Something just ain't right
I might die tonight
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Let's take a little drive
Let's take a little drive
I'm gonna buy a knife
It's gonna be alright
I gotta make it right
I gotta make it right
Gonna ride around all night
It's gonna feel alright
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Get Ready, Get Ready, Get Ready to Die
Don't fear the deep end
Don't fear the weekend
Don't fear the deep kiss
Don't fear the weakness
