She came through inspections 

Towards me in sections 

The life disappeared from the room 

She asked me politely 

May I put this lightly 

The death that you thought was exhumed 

It's buried beneath us 

Since I wrote the thesis 

I think I know better than you 



Who taught you to live like that

Who taught you to live like that 

Who taught you to live like that 

Who taught you to live like that 

It's buried beneath us 

Since I wrote the thesis 

Who taught you to live like that 



You circulate freely 

Surrender completely 

Wind up alone in the road 

The light's gettin' brighter 

The prize to the fighter 

And now we got somethin' to hold 

And if it gets heavy 

You can't keep it steady 

Remember the things you been told 



Who taught you to live like that 

Who taught you to live like that 

Who taught you to live like that 

Who taught you to live like that 

It's buried beneath us 

Since I wrote the thesis 

Who taught you to live like that 



Ahahah ah ah 

Ahahah ah ah 

Ahahah ah ah 

Ahahah ah ah 



Who taught you to live like that



Sounds a bit offside 

Judgin' who just died 

Who'll be the first to speak 

The piano was upright 

Attendance was uptight 

Countin' the days of the week 

But 'round about midnight 

Your comments were highlight 

The party spilled into the street 



Who taught you to live like that

Who taught you to live like that 

Who taught you to live like that 

Who taught you to live like that 

But 'round about midnight 

Your comments were highlight 

Who taught you to live like that
