[Verse 1]
Rain in the street light
Which door is yours?
Warm in the hallway
You took my, you took my
Hand me a glass then
Something from Spain
I said I could taste it
But I don't know, I don't know
Music is playing
Don't I know this song?
I feel like dancing
[Pre-Chorus]
And maybe I, maybe I might
'Cause I feel a, I feel alive
[Chorus]
So teach me about dying
Show me how it feels
Teach me about dying
So I can learn how to live
[Post-Chorus]
So I can learn how to live
[Verse 2]
It's getting late now
A quarter to three
I can't get a car here
But I can walk, I can walk
The rain's getting heavy
The road is a sea
Soaked to the bone now
[Pre-Chorus]
And I am a boat in the night
I feel a, I feel alive
Now I am alone at first light
And I feel a, I feel alive
[Chorus]
So teach me about dying
Show me how it feels
Teach me about dying
So I can learn how to live
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
So won't you teach me about dying, ah-ah
(Teach him about dying and teach him about-ah dying, dying)
(Teach him about dying and teach him about-ah dying, dying)
Show me how it feels, ah-ah
(Teach him about dying and teach him about-ah dying, dying)

So I can learn how to live
[Outro]
So I can learn how to live
So I can learn how to live
