Golden Earring - You're Better Off Dead Lyrics
Carmalita's in the doorway, with her hand on her hip
Smilin' at all the boys as they shuffle on by
She makes a lot of money with a brand new trick
They come in from all over just to give her a try
Give her try
She doesn't seem to notice, that she's being bled
The streetlights throw shadow lovers onto her bed
She doesn't seem to notice that she is being bled
If this is living then you're better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Lupe, Lupe gets more crazy as the moon gets full
She thinks that she is the Queen reborn of the Nile
Swears at all the people as they walk on by
Walk on by
The streetlights throw shadow lovers onto her bed
No one ever understand a single word she says
The street lights throw shadow lovers onto her bed
If this is living then you're better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Well they've got every kind of remedy to make you feel right
Pills and thrills in every shape and size
You scramble up your brain in cocktail shaker
And throw it out the window for a big surprise, big surprise
Wake up in the morning, nothing left in your head
If this is livin', you're better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead
Ooh ooh la la la la la
If this is livin', you're better off dead
If this is livin'
If this is livin', you're better off dead

Something else., Magic....
To my humble ears this is GE finest moment.
Just perfect!
In 1971 my best albums are IV , Foxtrot , Pictures at an Ex , Fragile ... And ofcourse Seven Tears .....!!!
proud to be a earring fan
Hey man, I've been waiting for this number to come up here. Wow George Kooymans is really smoking here. Unbelievable guitar solo from 1:38 - 6:00. Golden Earring is still one of my favourite bands from the 70s. I have this album as a prized possession in my LP collection. This number is easily the best song ever by Golden Earring but seems to be quite rare.
Great guitar and drumstuff here......this was really 1971 in every way......must have been a great live track but never saw them performing this one.......
Bluesy Earring!
