Yeah, yeah, yeah, kill me
Hey, kill me
'Cause I wanna die

Gonna break my heart

I remember Brian the tall cat with Portnoy. a man named Carl Kelly with Anthony Gerraci band, and of course Piccolo circa 83 w Roomful knocking this tune out of the park. I expect Sugar Ray - worlds greatest double-threat - did the same thing on his watch.
