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
