01 BETTER BEAT THAN DEAD
They threw me out late at
night
Now I got no bed
Recovering on the curb
Better beat than dead
better beat than dead
A champion in my prime
So the year book read
Now I'm thinner than my
last dime
even under fed, I'm better beat than dead
you gimme
a warm coat
I'll be fine
some people are born old
I remember the time
coulda been quite a pair
you picked him instead
I married a fifth of rye
I'm better beat than dead
I wanted what you had
come the rain
we would have been iron
clad
I stepped off of the train
get yourself rectified
ain't that what you said
unburden that idiot pride
get it through your head
I'm better beat than dead
better beat than dead
02 how to be a millionaire
buy high swing low
catch a freight train by
the toe
soon you will know
how to be a millionaire
I got a hole in the bucket
only I can see
a hole in the bucket
staring back at me
I got a hole in the bucket
I'm trying to fill
the harder you hug it
the more I spill
under the bridge
thatÕs where I hid
flipping my lid
broke and bare
tied to the wheel, banded
with steel
now I reveal
how to be a millionaire
take a stand
bank card in your hand
roll it down the hill
hope like hell some jack
or jill will bail you out
I got a rip in the pocket
from a worn out seam
a tear in the ticket
I will never redeem
I caught a ride on a
rocket
but I'm frightened to fly
I gotta
hole in the bucket
gonna drain me dry
under the bridge
thatÕs where I hid
flipping my lid
broke and bare
tied to the wheel
banded with steel
now I reveal
how to be a millionaire
I got a hole in the bucket
a tear on your locket
a crash in the market
03 there will never be
another you
I'll write the
history you'll dig the hole
she threw a kiss to
me and the rest I stole
down by the reef
that place we know
I'd like to we meet
one more time now
I was only fooling darlin' take your shiny key
pack the car, keep the dog
and drive me to the sea
run to him, try to swim
til you're out of view
there will never be
another you
VERSE 2
our ragged destiny ran out
of road
the way you tested me made
my heart explode
out by the mall
we had a laugh
I dropped the ball
all comes flooding back
I was only fooling
darling, take your shiny key
pack the car keep the dog
and drive me to the sea
run to him, try to swim, til you're out of view
there will never be
another you
Oh no . . . another you
diving for mother of pearl
through a ring of fire
you drown me
astound me
one more time now
I was only fooling darling
take your shiny key
pack the car keep the dog
and drive me to the sea
run to him, try to swim,
do what you must do
there will never be another
you
trust me
there will never be
another you
