dont turn off the light
you might draw the queen of spades
dont shut the door
you dont need to be alone
i wont bring you no food
there might be some poison in your meat
ive got to know are you dead or alive
dont shut the door are you dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window youre leaving

dont look in the mirror
with a dollar up your face
youve got money to burn
youre cheap at half the price
oh dont powder your nose
dont blow your brains just for the the
crack
ive got to know are you dead or alive
just for the crack are you dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window youre leaving

youre running so fast
but you know youre standing still
im afraid of your shadow
and the knife in its hand
youre dancing with death
to the tune of the dealer
and he dont care
dont give a toss
dont want to know if
youre dead or alive
dont want to know if
youre dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window
youre leaving
