When I die
\nI wanna come back as your bass guitar
\nHold me in your arms
\nBounce me off your hip
\nTune me up, pluck my strings
\n\u2018Til my body sings
\n\u2018Til it moans and sings<\/i><\/p>\n

I could be your instrument
\nAnd dying wouldn\u2019t be so hard
\nIf I come back
\nWhen I come back
\nI come back as your bass guitar<\/i><\/p>\n

When I die
\nI wanna come back as your steering wheel
\nRight between the fingers of your
\nBlack leather gloves
\nYou can spin me all around
\nIf you get lost, I\u2019ll get you found
\nTaking you back
\nHomeward bound<\/i><\/p>\n

I could be your navigator
\nAnd dying could have some appeal
\nIf I come back
\nWhen I come back
\nI come back as your steering wheel<\/i><\/p>\n

When I die
\nI wanna come back as the color green
\nCool, lush, and wild
\nDip your brush in carefully
\nCoat your bedroom walls with me
\nUp and down, use me
\nGenerously<\/i><\/p>\n

I\u2019d reflect your every mood
\nAnd dying won\u2019t be what it seems
\nIf I come back
\nWhen I come back
\nI come back as the color green<\/i><\/p>\n

When I die<\/i><\/p>\n
