Die Like a Rich Boy Lyrics
I need to find somebody who can tear me away
From the car crime babies and switch blade days
The bark of the unemployment hands
And the thud of the thick white skull on the ground
I won't die in the bony arms of the state
To be laid to rest in the wake of the faded town
And if the raincoats come to steal my home
There's a big white house at the end of the road
I can see you wrapped in Egyptian thread
In a marble garden, immune to the mess
If you leave this world in a rhinestone shroud
We can finally make your father proud
If I leave this world in a loaded daze
I can finally have and eat my cake
I want to die like a rich boy diving
In a hydro cordon dream
You can die like a rich girl by me
Oh how the magazines will grieve
I'll die like a rich boy bathing
In a milk bath, I could drown
I want to die like a rich boy
Even if we're as poor as we are now
I want to die like a rich boy, drowning
In a lake that bears my name
You can die like a rich girl by me
Flushed and radiant with fame
I want to lie and sleep in the TV
In a golden cardboard crown
I want to die like a rich boy
Even if we're as poor as we are now
Well I found you now, so tear me away
From the feral street they lumped us in
I'll be Shakespeare's moonstruck king
We can lose our minds at the top of the hill
We burn cash and carry a decadent flame
We enter the night from beyond the grave
From the car crime babies and switch blade days
The bark of the unemployment hands
And the thud of the thick white skull on the ground
I won't die in the bony arms of the state
To be laid to rest in the wake of the faded town
There's a big white house at the end of the road
I can see you wrapped in Egyptian thread
In a marble garden, immune to the mess
If you leave this world in a rhinestone shroud
We can finally make your father proud
I can finally have and eat my cake
In a hydro cordon dream
You can die like a rich girl by me
Oh how the magazines will grieve
I'll die like a rich boy bathing
In a milk bath, I could drown
I want to die like a rich boy
Even if we're as poor as we are now
In a lake that bears my name
You can die like a rich girl by me
Flushed and radiant with fame
I want to lie and sleep in the TV
In a golden cardboard crown
I want to die like a rich boy
Even if we're as poor as we are now
From the feral street they lumped us in
I'll be Shakespeare's moonstruck king
We can lose our minds at the top of the hill
We burn cash and carry a decadent flame
We enter the night from beyond the grave

This is a beautiful, hopeful, sad song.
He's searching for a way out of his present and his haunting past. He cannot go on living like this, and he knows he isn't going to last.
But he is dreaming of a time in the future that this will all change and he will finally have everything he ever wanted.
