D.O.A. Songtext
von Carrie Compere

Seen plenty of people all over the years
From heroes to half-bloods, with their pitiful tears
Thinkin′ that they'll save a loved one
From below (oh no, oh no, oh no!)

They think they′ll pop down for a quick trip
(But it don't work like that!)
So kids, here's a tip
You ain′t gettin′ out
We gotcha and we ain't lettin′ go
(Oh no! Oh, no!)

Down here you're D.O.A
And you′re here to stay
Yeah, you're stuck forever, never get away
No hope of survival
You′re dead on arrival!


What do you think of my song?
It's great, was that James Brown?
We have all the greats down here!
Mozart, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain
Who do you feel like listening to?
Ooh! Um, do you have any Josh Groban?
Mm, we will, eventually

I ferry the souls of the newly deceased
I got a sweet ride, it was newly leased
And if the dead complain
I just turn up the stereo

We get our kicks 'cross the River Styx
It′s a permanent trip, so don′t try no tricks
Gentleman and ladies, it's Hades who runs the show
Oh, look, it′s the Vienna Boys' Choir
They crashed their bus on the way to sing for the Vatican
They′re kids, they're lucky!
Their voices will never change now

Eins, Zwei, Drei, down here you′re D.O.A
And you're here to stay
Yeah, you're stuck forever, never get away
No hope of survival (you′re dead!)
Who has two turntables and three sick heads?
Everybody give it up for D.J. Cerberus!

D.O.A
D.O.A


Down here you′re D.O.A
And you're here to stay
Yeah, you′re stuck forever, never get away
No hope of survival
You're dead on arrival
Dead on arrival, oh

Can′t, can't get away
Can′t get away 'cause you're D.O.A. now (oh-oh-oh, yeah)
Can′t, can′t, can't get away, get away, get away

You ain′t ever gonna save what matters (can't get away ′cause you're D.O.A. now)
You ain′t gonna protect your friends (can't get away 'cause you′re D.O.A.)
You ain′t ever gonna be remembered (can't get away ′cause you're D.O.A. now)
This is where your story ends (can′t get away 'cause you′re D.O.A. now)
Today
D.O.A!
