The Divine Comedy - Thrillseeker lyrics

When you hang by a thread
Strange things go through your head
What was in that woodshed?
Will death be gentle?
"Better to live one day like a lion than a
Thousand sheepishly" say dead oriental

I'm a thrillseeker honey i can't help it
I'd kill for that feeling now I've felt it
I'm a thrillseeker

If you live by the sword
You will reap your reward
Death by faulty rip-cord or loose carabiner
But it's my absolute right
To kill myself if I like
And now it looks like I might
Have finally succeeded

And I don't care

When they finally come
I'll be stuck there like gum
Frying under the sun eggs over easy
But it's my triumph of will
Just to stay alive till
They've spent several million
Trying to save me albeit vainly
I don't want their money

I'm a thrillseeker honey i can't help it
I'd kill for that feeling now I've felt it
It's the cruellest of hands
But I've been dealt it
I can see it, I can feel it, I hear it
Here it comes
