Cheating Death Lyrics by Messenger Down

Cheating Death

2016

[Verse]
In the wild, we were animals
Fighting for the table scraps that karma left
When fate ran dry, you'd run and hide
Baby boy will do what only baby boys do best

[PreChorus]
And someone knocked upon my door
And someone bled upon my bedroom floor
"Go back from where you came,"
If only you'd rang

[Chorus]
And here we are again
Waiting for the end to come
And sweep us off our feet
Don't get me wrong
The road here was so much fun
But death, you just can't cheat

[Verse]
Down the drain, not down and out
For all the years we'd count
But son you've got a temper I won't stand for
No, I won't change for the likes
Of that critic that dislikes
It all just to set a score

But I will bring a war!

[Chorus]
And here we are again
Waiting for the end to come
And sweep us off our feet
Don't get me wrong
The road here was so much fun
But death, you just can't cheat

[PreChorus]
And someone knocked upon my door
And someone bled upon my bedroom floor
"Go back from where you came,"
If only you'd rang

[Bridge]
No, you can't cheat death
If it's your last breath
You can take it and run
But wouldn't it be fun to waste it

No, you can't cheat death
If it's your last breath
You can take it and run
But wouldn't it be fun to waste it

[Chorus]
And here we are again
Waiting for the end to come
And sweep us off our feet
Don't get me wrong
The road here was so much fun
But death, you just can't cheat

[Outro}
Oh, we had our fun
But death, you just can't cheat
