Golden Earring - Better Off Dead

Better off dead

Carmalita's in the doorway
With her hand on her hip
Smilin' at all the boys as they shuffle on by
She makes a lot of money with a brand new trick
They come from all over just to give her a try
Give het a try

She doesn't seem to notice
That she's being bled
The streetlights throw shadow lovers onto her bed
She doesn't seem to notice that she's being bled
If this is living then you're better off dead

Ooh la la la la la
Better off dead

Lupe,Lupe gets more crazy as the moon gets full
She papered all the walls with the NY Times
She thinks that she is the queen reborn of the Nile
Swears at all the people as they walk on by
Walk on by

The streetlights throw shadow lovers onto her bed
If this is living then you're better off dead

Well they've got every kind of remedy to make you feel right
Pills and thrills in every shape and size
You scramble up your brain in coctail shaker
Ant throw it out the window for a big surprise

Wake up in the morning nothing left in your head
If this is livin'..........
