Better Off Dead Lyrics - Captain Fantastic - Elton John

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

'Cause the steams in the boiler the coals 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 steams in the boiler the coals 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...
