Divine Comedy - Thrillseeker lyrics

When you hang by a thread

Strange things go through your head

What was in that woodshed?

Will death be gentle?

"Better to live one day like a lion

Than a thousand sheepishly",

Say dead oriental...

I'm a thrillseeker honey - I can't help it

I would kill for that feeling now I've felt it

I'm a thrillseeker

If you live by the sword

You will reap your reward

Death by faulty rip-cord or loose caribiner

But it's my absolute right

To kill myself if I like

And now it looks like I might've finally succeeded

And I don't care

When they finally come

I'll be stuck there like gum

Frying under the sun - eggs over easy

But it's my triumph of will

Just to stay alive 'til

They've spent several million trying to save me

Albeit vainly

I don't want your money

I'm a thrillseeker honey - I can't help it

I'd kill for that feeling now I've felt it

It's the cruellest of hands but I've been dealt it

I can see it, I can feel it, I hear it

Here it comes.....
