lyrics

I came upon a place with X's all over your face
(I can't believe)
The most modern prints, are still just a hit and miss
(but, you still insist)
-
to kiss me on the mouth
(that's still a part of me)
better off dead then fair
still better off then me.
-
I came upon a map where x marks the spot and we
met the man who said...
"You're only lost if you know where you want to be
BETTER OFF DEAD THEN ME
-
to kiss me on the mouth
(that's still a part of me)
better off dead then fair
still better off then me.

better off dead then me
better off dead then me
you'd rather be dead then fair
you'd still be better off the me.
