Better Off Dead

(アルバム： Stranger Than Fiction - 1994)

I'm sorry about the sun
How could I know that you would burn?
And I'm sorry about the moon
How could I know that you'd disapprove?

And I'll never make the same mistake
the next time I create the universe
I'll make sure we communicate at length
Oh yeah

But until then, better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, yeah better than this
Take it away, 'cause there's nothing to miss

I'm sorry about the world
How could I know you'd take it so bad?

And I'll never make the same mistake
So if you're looking for a patsy
Why not try the entire human race
Just to play it safe?

But until then, better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, yeah better than this
Take it away, 'cause there's nothing to miss

Better off dead, you're better off dead
Why don't you try pushing daisies instead?
Better off dead... you're better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head

and I'll never make the same mistake,
the next time I create the universe
I'll make sure you participate
Oh yeah

And I'll never make the same mistake
the next time I create the universe
I'll make sure you participate
Just in case
