Elton John - 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've 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 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 

(Repeat) 

Better off dead, better off dead 
Better off dead, better off dead 
Better off dead, better off dead 
Better off dead, better off dead
