Eagle Eye Cherry - Death Defied lyrics

rate me

He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride

Wasn't in the play to be gone for long

But he keeps looking back over his shoulder

He knows that something might go wrong

The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure

Strange mood what is the cure

He's got that feeling of impending doom

Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb

Chorus:

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

Boy you gotta learn what's true

Death defied by will

Like a drug that doesn't kill

The joke is on you

You ought to know better

You ought to know better

He is determined to outsmart this snake

With conviction he will stand his ground

Feeling invincible like death itself

But his immortality won't be found

What should he say at his own wake

That he refuses to fulfill his fate

He doesn't know that this is his last drive

On the road we call alive

Chorus

Now the time has come

You can't play around

And you ought to know

You ought to know better

You ought to know better

Chorus
