Better Off Dead Lyrics

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
Window 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
File 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

’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 Of Dead
