don't turn off the light
	you might draw the queen of spades
	don't shut the door
	you don't need to be alone
	i won't bring you no food
	there might be some poison in your meat
	i've got to know are you dead or alive
	don't shut the door are you dead or alive
	dead or alive
	pick your window you're leaving

	don't look in the mirror
	with a dollar up your face
	you've got money to burn
	you're cheap at half the price
	oh don't powder your nose
	don't blow your brains just for the the
	  crack
	i've got to know are you dead or alive
	just for the crack are you dead or alive
	dead or alive
	pick your window you're leaving

	you're running so fast
	but you know you're standing still
	i'm afraid of your shadow
	and the knife in it's hand
	you're dancing with death
	to the tune of the dealer
	and he don't care
	don't give a toss
	don't want to know if
	  you're dead or alive
	don't want to know if
	  you're dead or alive
	dead or alive
	pick your window
	  you're leaving
