Lyric Dead Or Alive

(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

don t turn off the light
you might draw the queen of spades
don t shut the door
you don t need to be alone
i won t bring you no food
there might be some poison in your meat
i ve got to know are you dead or alive
don t shut the door are you dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window you re leaving

don t look in the mirror
with a dollar up your face
you ve got money to burn
you re cheap at half the price
oh don t powder your nose
don t blow your brains just for the the crack
i ve got to know are you dead or alive
just for the crack are you dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window you re leaving

you re running so fast
but you know you re standing still
i m afraid of your shadow
and the knife in it s hand
you re dancing with death
to the tune of the dealer
and he don t care
don t give a toss
don t want to know if you re dead or alive
don t want to know if you re dead or alive
dead or alive
pick your window you re leaving
