Lyrics
You're cursed, dear sister, cursed with bad karma
It's worse than you think, the devil's got your number
You smile from the hurt, you laugh in his face
What in heaven's name is this style you embrace?
You've learned to play the game, you've learned how to jive
You're better off by far; you're alive
So hide from the past for all I care
Hide from your brother, if you dare!
You can listen to me, or only to the living
I came not to preach; I'm here with just a warning
Hide from your conscience; it'll make things easier
Don't try to scream when things get crazier!
You've learned to play the game, you've learned how to jive
You're better off by far; you're alive
There! Can you see me now, or am I still invisible?
Am I still a ghost, alone and intangible?
Alright, alright! I surrender!
Doesn't pay for a restless soul to wander
Name your price, it will suffice
This is how the dead are exorcised
You're cursed, dear sister, cursed with bad karma
It's worse than you think, the devil's got your number
The deal's finalised; your brother's been bought
Now who's gonna save you when you get caught?
You've learned to play the game, you've learned how to jive
You're better off by far; you're alive
So hide from redemption for all I care
Hide from the devil, if you dare!
