Live for Me - Blue Öyster Cult

It was a wet night

And the other guy

Was lubricated with a pint of Jack

His truck hit

Jimmys chevy

With a sound like a thunder crack

I was working late but I felt it happen

I knew that my brother was laid low

I waited for the call

And then the damn call came

And I knew what I knew and didnt want to know

Live for me Live for me Live twice as big

Love twice as long

Work twice as hard

Play all of your cards

Live for me Live for me Burn twice as bright

Three times as long

But brother, dont do no one wrong

Beth thought he would make it through the winter

I never really thought so myself

The dark spirit was always hoverin nearer

And I knew in my heart there was just no help

When he called me to the bed

Took my hand to say goodbye

He said he wouldnt blame nobody

Said he wouldnt ask the Lord why

And when he passed on A March wind blew

Sun drew away a veil of cloud

We buried him smiling

We buried him deep

And I could hear him sayin right out loud

Live for me Live for me Live twice as big

Love twice as long

Work twice as hard

Play all of your cards

Live for me Live for me Burn twice as bright

Three times as long

But brother, dont do no one wrong

Brother, dont do no one wrong
