John Wesley Harding - Already Dead lyrics

Life is just beginning to begin again I'm hoping that you've saved the best 'til last You're lying on a stretcher in a corridor Taking in a slideshow of the past You're smiling and you're covered in confetti You're coloring a picture of the ark But you won't hear the morning lark You're already dead Already dead You're ice cold and you're perfect You're already dead Just like you said Better dead than fed up and alive Everything's improving by the minute Better things await behind the door The sun is shining on a gorgeous morning Trains are running better since the war Everybody's mood is getting lighter But you can't hide your disappointment anymore You don't know what good times are for You're already dead Already dead You're ice cold and you're perfect You're already dead Just like you said Better dead than fed up and alive Better dead than fed up and alive So pack up all your good luck charms and notebooks Your garlic your silver crucifix Your vitamins your tanna leaves your ID Your tortoise shell your paints and both your card tricks You can simply swallow what is fed you It's either that or kick against the pricks It looks like you just took your prick You're already dead Already dead Already dead You're ice cold and you're perfect You're already dead Already dead Better dead than fed up and alive Better dead than fed up and alive Yes you have a life
