Artist: Deep Purple

Album: The House of Blue Light

  • Songwriters: Ritchie Blackmore, Ian Gillan, Roger Glover
  • Also in:

Don't turn off the light
You might draw the queen of spades
Don't shut the door
You don't need to be alone
I don't bring you no food
There might be some poison in your meat
Oh tell me now
I've got to know are you dead or alive?
You've got to know if you dead or alive?
Dead or alive
Pick your window you're leaving

Look in the mirror
Dollar up your face
You've got money to burn
Cheap at half the price
And everybody got in my place
I can tell you now, well tell you
I've got to know if you dead or alive
I've got to know if you dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window you're leavin', leavin'

You're running so fast
But you know you're standing still
I'm afraid of my fear
And the knife in your hand
Dancing with death
To the tune of the dealer
And he don't care
Don't give a toss
Don't want to know if you're dead or alive
Don't give a toss if you're dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window you're leavin', leavin'
Dead or alive
