Only the Living Die
Have you ever seen the dead try
In the middle of the night
Do you know what makes men cry
While you shackle with fright
Only the living die
Have you ever heard a ghost scream
Is all the light gone
It's all wrong it would seem
Your life is one big con
Only the living die
Do tiger shadows ask why
Sitting in your room alone
Has in the dark on your thigh
Don't scream don't cry don't moan
Only the living die
Specters don't hang a noose
Dead don't hold a blade
Death won't let you loose
Press it to your skin till you
Only the living die
In the middle of the night
Do you know what makes men cry
While you shackle with fright
Only the living die
Have you ever heard a ghost scream
Is all the light gone
It's all wrong it would seem
Your life is one big con
Only the living die
Do tiger shadows ask why
Sitting in your room alone
Has in the dark on your thigh
Don't scream don't cry don't moan
Only the living die
Specters don't hang a noose
Dead don't hold a blade
Death won't let you loose
Press it to your skin till you
Only the living die
