Better Off Dead
Better Off Dead: Revelations of Life's Crossroads
Lyrics
Call the girls and dress up fine
Calling friends and dressing up for a special occasion.
Tonight I felt like suicide

Roll them dice and pour the wine
Engaging in risky behavior, taking chances.
Shuffle them cards and deal them fine
Playing a game of chance, possibly reflecting life's uncertainties.
Got nobody to kiss tonight
Feeling lonely or without a romantic partner for the night.
Nothing to lose but my appetite
Having nothing to lose except the desire to eat.
want to be silly and sing and shout
Expressing a desire to be carefree, silly, and joyful.
Gotta get legless and fall about
Intending to get heavily drunk and have a good time.
Turn the music up nice and loud
Turning up the music volume to enjoy the moment.
Cheer me up don't bring me down
Asking for encouragement and positivity, not negativity.
