Eagle-Eye Cherry - "Death Defied" lyrics

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 The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure He knows that something might go wrong Strange mood what is the cure Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb He's got that feeling of impending doom 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 He is determined to outsmart this snake You ought to know better With conviction he will stand his ground Feeling invincible like death itself But his immortality won't be found That he refuses to fulfill his fate What should he say at his own wake On the road we call alive He doesn't know that this is his last drive 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
