Deathless Songtext
von Ed Harcourt

She said, let′s be deathless and sell our souls
Watch our portraits crack, our faces never grow old
Like a mime who's stuck in time as we revolve
For I might die unsatisfied and unresolved

Oh, we could be deathless, just say the word
I′ve been brokering some shady deals for us
I know you trust my love as much as you trust my lust
But I know you're thrilled to see our rivals crushed

I've been dying to live for something
It′s better than dying for nothing
I wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless

I′ve been living to die for something
It's better than living for nothing
I wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless
Want to be deathless


Now that we′re deathless, what shall we do?
Caught between the life that mocks and chokes the muse
Singing Purgatorio canto for you
I'm your snake oil salesman playing with the truth

I′ve been dying to live for something
It's better than dying for nothing
I wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless

I′ve been living to die for something
It's better than living for nothing
I want to be deathless
Want to be deathless
Wanna be deathless

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh

I've been dying to live for something
It′s better than living for nothing
I wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless


I′ve been living to die for something
It's better than dying for nothing
I wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless
Wanna be deathless
