Isolated not an ounce of shame Circumstances that you have to blame Incinerate without a flame A tainted soul you can't reclaim Too late for us, another one bites the dust Leave it behind, your New York state of mind Don't close your eyes cos you're frightened of what lies ahead I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead What's the point in being submissive When all you get is a painful indifference A turning point you never found Karma calls without a sound I've reached the point where I get caught up in my own decisions As tables turn and bridges burn I end up reminiscing Of a time where I could find a little piece of mind Stuck in a fantasy This is anarchy Too late for us, another one bites the dust Leave it behind, your New York state of mind Don't close your eyes cos you're frightened of what lies ahead I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead (frightened of what lies ahead) I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead (frightened of what lies ahead) I'd rather be dead I'd rather be dead
