[Intro]
Oh, you know I did it
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waited and I waited the longest night
Nothing like the taste of sweet decline
[Verse 1]
I was down, and I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever cause nothing lasts
Dancing with the bones of my buried past
[Pre-Chorus]
Never mind there's nothing I could do
Bet your life there's something killing you
[Chorus]
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
[Verse 2]
I'm finished, I'm getting you off my chest
Made you come clean in a dirty dress
A promise is a promise you kept in check
Hard to cross a heart that beats this fast
[Interlude]
Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Never mind there's nothing I could do
Bet your life there's something killing you
[Chorus]
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
Ain't no way, DOA
Ain't no way, DOA
[Interlude]
Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Never mind there's nothing I could do
Bet your life there's something killing you
[Chorus]
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
[Outro]
It's a shame we have to disappear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
This time
This time
Oh, you know I did it
It's over and I feel fine
Nothing you could say is gonna change my mind
Waited and I waited the longest night
Nothing like the taste of sweet decline
[Verse 1]
I was down, and I fell, I fell so fast
Dropping like the grains in an hourglass
Never say forever cause nothing lasts
Dancing with the bones of my buried past
[Pre-Chorus]
Never mind there's nothing I could do
Bet your life there's something killing you
[Chorus]
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
[Verse 2]
I'm finished, I'm getting you off my chest
Made you come clean in a dirty dress
A promise is a promise you kept in check
Hard to cross a heart that beats this fast
[Interlude]
Take a good hard look for the very last time
The very last one in a very long line
Only took a second to say goodbye
Been a pleasure, but the pleasure's been mine all mine

Bet your life there's something killing you
[Chorus]
It's a shame we have to die my dear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
What a way to go, but have no fear
No one's getting out of here alive
This time
Ain't no way, DOA
Ain't no way, DOA

No one's getting out of here alive
