Lyrics
I sneak in my own house

It's four in the morning

I've had too much to drink

Said I was out with the boys

I creep in my bedroom

I slip into bed

I know if I wake her

I'll wake up dead

I wonder, will she find out?

About the other, other lover...

Diana

Wake up dead, you die

Wake up dead, and buried

Wake up dead, you die

Wake up dead
