Already Dead Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

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
