Dead Or Alive

(album: Rats In The Burlap - 2015)

A good person always puts others at ease
Never raises a fist, but in a fight never flees
To a good friend, "goodbye" is a hard thing to say
Even if you see them the next day
Even if you see them the very next day

When that person is gone it's a hard thing to take
And so is the pain when your heart starts to break
There are so many things we never got to do
Feels like life can't go on without you
No, life cannot go on without you

The memories in my mind
Are not hard to find
As I think, smile and reminisce
You are gone my dear friend
But just remember that death's not the end
Death's not the end!

So, lift up your spirits and never forget
About the dearly departed and have no regrets
Scream a "cheer!" for friends who aren't here today
I'll see you when it's my last day
Yeah, I'll see you when I pass away

So, lift up a glass and order a round
Take drink for the dead and slam that cup down!
Yell a "cheer!" for loved ones that aren't here today
I'll see you when I pass away
Yeah, I'll see you when I pass away
Yeah, I'll see you when I pass away
