Better Off Dead (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

i’m sorry about the sun,
how could i know that you’d burn?,
and i’m sorry about the moon,
how could i know that you’d disapproved,
i’ll never make the same mistake,
the next time i create the universe i’ll make sure we communicate at length
but until then . . . better off dead,
a smile on the lips and a hole in the head,
better off dead, yeah better than this,
better off dead, yeah better than this,
take it away cuz 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,
the next time i create the universe i’ll make sure you participate
but until then . . .
better off dead, yeah better off dead,
why don’t you try pushing daisies instead
and i’ll never make the same mistake,
the next time i create the universe i’ll make sure we communicate,
just in case.

how could I know that you’d burn?,
and I’m sorry about the moon,
how could I know that you’d disapproved,
I’ll never make the same mistake,
the next time I create the universe I’ll make sure we communicate at length

but until then…better of dead,
a smile on the lips and a hole in the head,
better of dead, yeah better than this,
better of dead, yeah better than this,
take it away ‘cuz 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,
the next time I create the universe I’ll make sure you participate

But until then…
Better of dead, yeah better of dead,
why don’t you try pushing daisies instead

and I’ll never make the same mistake,
the next time I create the universe I’ll make sure we communicate,
just in case

Music by elton john
Lyrics by bernie taupin
Available on the album captain fantastic and the brown dirt cowboy

There was a face on a hoarding that someone had drawn on
And just enough time for the night to pass by without warning
Away in the distance there’s a blue flashing light
Someone’s in trouble somewhere tonight
As the flickering neon stands ready to fuse
The wind blows away all of yesterday’s news

Well they’ve locked up their daughters and they battened the hatches
They always could find us but they never could catch us
Through the grease streaked windows of an all night cafe
We watched the arrested get taken away
And that cigarette haze has ecology beat
As the whores and the drunks filed in from the street

`cause the steams in the boiler the coals in the fire
If you ask how i am then i’ll just say inspired
If the thorn of a rose is the thorn in your side
Then you’re better off dead if you haven’t yet died

I heard your mother died
Just a few days ago
And tears fill your eyes with grief and sorrow
Cause you to question why because you don’t know
If there comes a time when we all, when we all must go

Chorus:
Better off dead, if you’re going to believe
Better off dead, in some painful (painful) memories
Better off dead, for truly you’ll be free
Then to get down on your knees

Can you continue to go on and ignore?
A most certain fate you have grown, grown to abhor
If what you believe is true
And you have no remorse
No matter what you do, no matter what you do,
Oh, you’ll be on, you’ll be on the same course

Chorus

Can someone tell me why i’m not better off dead?
I no longer deny these thoughts filling my head
I’m left to decide for this path i’ve been led
If there’s more to life than just death

(solo)
Chorus

It’s alright, i’m only bleeding

Ash his heart onto the ground
Pull his guts out by frustration
Be careful you might kill him
Just cause he can’t hear what you say
Doesn’t mean that he’s not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say
So you’ve been going out for years
And i’m sure that you’ve been happy
Happy with your role
You’ve been looking up to him
As if you’ve forgotten of your own life
Forgotten of your own face
Burn and start again
Just cause he can’t hear what you say
Doesn’t mean that he’s not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say
On my own again
That’s what she said
I’m leaving you tomorrow
But she already left
She already left me
She said i’m better off dead
It’s your own life
Live it for yourself
It’s your own life
Live for your…
Just cause he can’t hear what you say
Doesn’t mean that he’s not listening
If you listen to your words
He might like what you say
On my own again
That’s what she said
I’m leaving you tomorrow
But she already left
She already left me
She said i’m better off dead

Musically, this one has a sort of overblown, heavenly quality to it. but lyrically, it’s another story of a guy getting himself into a bad relationship that he can’t get out of. he says, "w
Ou fall in love with someone who doesn’t love you/ someone who treats you so badly it ramifies your head/ someone who doesn’t want you but won’t let you go/ someone who thinks you’re crazy and t
You so, over and over and over/ if this happens to you, you’re better off dead." it’s exaggerated, but there’s a kernel of truth there for so many people. you don’t know what bad is until y
El that. i know what i’m talking about because i was once a woman who loved too much.

I know some critic is going to think i don’t know what the word ramify means, or how to use it. made up an alternate verb form of it here, like a made-up r&b word, like the "puppet
Quot; of love. wanted to say how there would be ramifications from something that happens to your head in this kind of a relationship. i should’ve said "blamifies" or something to make
Eally obvious i was playing with the word, but i just didn’t give a fuck.

Call the girls and dress up fine
Tonight I felt like suicide
Roll them dice and pour the wine
Shuffle them cards and deal them fine
Got nobody to kiss tonight
Nothing to lose but my appetite

Wanna be silly and sing and shout
Gotta get legless and fall about
Turn the music up nice and loud
Cheer me up don’t bring me down
Gonna lose my job next week
Getting replaced by a silicone chip

I might have been a hero
But I chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
but right now honey I’m better off dead

I might have been a hero
But I chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
but right now honey I’m better off dead

Don’t like the scenery don’t like the set
Tear it all down and start again
Man keeps talking on the radio
Telling me what I don’t wanna know
Radiation wars and layatril
If tax don’t get ya then cancer will

I might have been a hero
But I chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
but right now honey I’m better off dead

I might have been a hero
But I chose to stay in bed
I might have been prime minister
but right now honey I’m better off dead

Better off dead, better off dead
Better off dead, better off dead
