Lyrics Better Than Dead - Thick As Thieves

Better Than Dead

Long day, got to go home
Love’s a haze they’re gonna hold
Love’s a cigarette
Lovers gonna gonna forget
Can you forget the things that you ain’t down yet?
Kid, you gotta be honest
We’re not that similar are we
Hardly!
What you wanted to be?
I kept a couple of dreams in my back pocket
So when I’m alone, I’ll pull and I’ll knock
What is behind door #4
A man who never grew old
Is that what you want?
I can’t live
I can’t give
I would leave
But I’d smile
I can’t live all the ways that I wanna
(I can’t live all the ways that I wanted, no)
I can’t give all the things that I oughta
(I can’t give all the things that I oughta)
I would leave, but you know I’m a goner
(I would leave, but you know I’m a goner)
So I’ll smile
In 3 years, you’re gonna let her go down
And then you’re gonna break her heart
And then you’re gonna get kicked out
The wood splits when you fist her liver
And the only gift that you’ll ever give to
Your friends is the day you’ll never see them again
You want it to end
Cos you only love the way it begins
And you’ll only spend
What you never had left
Now cry later
I may have shown you the path
But all you ever wanted was to crash
I guess you love when repeat the past
I can’t live
I can’t give
I would leave
But I’d smile
I can’t live all the ways that I wanna
(I can’t live all the ways that I wanted, no)
I can’t give all the things that I oughta
(I can’t give all the things that I oughta)
I would leave, but you know I’m a goner
(I would leave, but you know I’m a goner)
So I’ll smile ooooh
Come hosed out of the bed
Too stoned;
better than dead
Come hosed out of bed
Too stoned;
better than dead
I can’t live
I can’t give
I would leave
But I’d smile
I can’t live all the ways that I wanna
(I can’t live all the ways that I wanted, no)
I can’t give all the things that I oughta
(I can’t give all the things that I oughta)
I would leave, but you know I’m a goner
(I would leave, but you know I’m a goner)
So I’ll smile
