lyrics

DEAD BOYS

SOMETIMES ITS NOT SO MUCH WHAT YOU’RE SEEKING
SOMETIMES IT’S REALLY JUST WHAT YOU FIND
TO SOME ITS SLEEP AND TO OTHERS DREAMING
TO SOME IT’S ONLY JUST PEACE OF MIND

SOME OF THE LIVING JUST CAN’T COPE WITH DYING
SOME OF US DON’T THINK OF IT AT ALL
AND THEN THERE’S THOSE I GUESS WHO JUST STOP TRYING
ALL THEY CAN HEAR IS THE GRIM REAPER’S CALL

IT’S FOR THE DEAD BOYS I WRITE THIS SONG
ITS FOR THE DEAD BOYS CALL IT RIGHT OR WRONG
ITS FOR THE DEAD BOYS TOO MANY TO NAME
‘CAUSE ONLY DEAD BOYS EVER FINISH THIS GAME

SOME JUST GOT TIRED OF SINGING IN THE CHOIR
SOME JUST GOT TIRED OF PLAYING IN THE BAND
SOME DIED WITH MONEY OTHERS DIED WITH FAME BUT
MOST OF THEM DIED I KNOW BY THEIR OWN HAND

I’VE HEARD IT SAID THAT YOU CAN’T LIVE YOUR FUTURE
UNTIL YOU FINALLY LAY TO REST YOUR PAST
BUT YOU’RE ALIVE AS LONG AS ONE REMEMBERS
AND MAYBE CARES ENOUGH TO MAKE IT LAST

IT’S FOR THE DEAD BOYS I WRITE THIS SONG
ITS FOR THE DEAD BOYS CALL IT RIGHT OR WRONG
ITS FOR THE DEAD BOYS TOO MANY TO NAME
‘CAUSE ONLY DEAD BOYS EVER FINISH THIS GAME

WORDS: ARNO TIETJE
