Dead or Alive

[Verse 1]
Sooner or later, she said she'd be my friend
Honest and faithful till the very end
Well, enough of that, I'm tired of hearing it anyway
She turns and smiles, says goodbye in her inimical way

[Verse 2]
Happy to see her in the back of a magazine
Lying there nude, sporting that stupid grin
So get on with it, straight on and porno bound
But leave me out of it, I'm not proud

[Chorus]
It would have taken you a long, long time
Yes, it would have taken you a long, long time

[Verse 3]
I was happy to see her in the back of a limousine
Laughing and crying at everything she'd seen
Well enough of that, she should have known better anyway
When I told her what I'd seen, she was so ashamed

[Chorus]
Yes, it would have taken me a long, long time
Well, it would have taken her a long, long time

[Bridge]
And a year from Monday
Everything I said came true
That's when the D.A. called me, he said
"Dead or alive for you, they found her"

[Outro]
Dead or alive, dead or alive
I want you dead or alive, she said
Dead or alive, I want you dead or alive
I want you dead or alive, she said
I want you dead or alive, I want you dead or alive
I want you dead or alive, she said
Dead or alive, dead or alive
Dead or alive, she said
