D.O.A. Songtext
von Dave Evans

Paint your picture black and blue, that don′t impress me
I've seen it, I′ve seen it all before
Drag a razor through your flesh, let the blood run free
Cried wolf once too often, that's for sure
All your fatalistic poetry and voices from beyond
I read between your twisted lines, it's still the same old song
No use crying now your lover′s gone

Come on boy, let′s see what you're made of
Shattered dreams on your bedroom wall
Come on boy, oh, what you′re so afraid of?
It won't take much, just a little bit of guts
It′ll change your life, wash your sins away, sure
D.O.A., dead on arrival
D.O.A., dead on arrival


Cry your plastic tears and play the crippled broken clown
Sing a song, a hundred thousand lies
The flying man has lost his wings, he's really coming down
Who′ll catch him as he falls behind the times?
I'd rather roar like a lion for just one day than waste my life away
Bleating like some sacrificial lamb
Mama's little baby wants to be a man

Come on boy, let′s see what you′re made of
Shattered dreams on your bedroom wall
Come on boy, oh, what you're so afraid of?
It won′t take much, just a little bit of guts
It'll change your life, wash your sins away
D.O.A

What you′re looking for is something
Real inside your world of make believe
That what you're seeing isn′t really there at all
It adds up to nothing in this life, it's like the movies


Come on boy, let's see what you′re made of
Shattered dreams on your bedroom wall
Come on boy, oh, what you′re so afraid of?
It won't take much, just a little bit of guts
It′ll change your life, wash your sins away
D.O.A., dead on arrival
D.O.A., dead on arrival
D.O.A., dead on arrival
D.O.A., D.O.A., D.O.A., dead on arrival
D.O.A
