Better Off Dead |
| There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on |
| And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning |
| Away in the distance there’s a blue flashing light |
| Someone’s in trouble somewhere tonight |
| As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse |
| The wind blows away all of yesterday’s news |
| Well, they’ve locked up their daughters |
| And they battened the hatches |
| They always could find us but they never could catch us |
| Through the grease-streaked windows of an all-night cafe |
| We watched the arrested get taken away |
| And that cigarette haze has ecology beat |
| As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street |
| 'Cause the steam’s in the boiler, the coal’s in the fire |
| If you ask how I am then I’ll just say «inspired» |
| If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side |
| Then you’re better off dead if you haven’t yet died |
| Ooh (Ooh) |
| Ooh |
| Ooh (La, la, la) |
| Ooh (la, la, la) |
| Ah |
| Ah |
| La-la-la-la-la… |
| 'Cause the steam’s in the boiler, the coal’s in the fire |
| If you ask how I am then I’ll just say inspired |
| If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side |
| Then you’re better off dead if you haven’t yet died |
| Better off dead |
| Better off dead |
| Better off dead |
| Better off dead |
| Better off dead |
| Better off dead |
| Better off dead |
| Better off dead |
