better to be dead
Singer:duncan sheik
set upon a northern shore
the denizens of lighthouse
the foolish things they did
the foolish things they said
they would be better off dead
lily keeps the lighthouse
she's afraid of the unknown
and no one cares about her longing
or the dreams on which she's fed
and though i'm sad to say it
she would be better off dead
he's something of a sideshow
every sheriff is the same
will he stand for justice
or something else instead?
either way it hardly matters
'cause he's better off dead
when all the world's at war
he searches for redemption
in this strange and foreign land
and now he works for lily
but the most that one can say
is that he's better off dead
welcome young christopher
he's come here on a train
his father flew to heaven
he's come to live with lily
he's got visions in his head
he may be our main attraction
when all the world's at war
all things have been said
