The Divine Comedy Thrillseeker song lyrics

When you hang by a thread

Strange things go through your head

What was in that woodshed?

Will death be gentle?

"Better to live one day like a lion

Than a thousand sheepishly"

Say dead oriental

I'm a thrillseeker honey - I can't help it

I would kill for that feeling now I've felt it

I'm a thrillseeker

If you live by the sword

You will reap your reward

Death by faulty rip-cord or loose karabiner

But it's my absolute right

To kill myself if I like

And now it looks like I might have finally succeeded

And I don't care

When they finally come

I'll be stuck there like gum

Frying under the sun "eggs over easy"

But it's my triumph of will

Just to stay alive 'til

They've spent several million trying to save me

Albeit vainly

I don't want your money

I'm a thrillseeker honey - I can't help it

I'd kill for that feeling now I've felt it

It's the cruelest of hands but I've been dealt it

I can see it, I can feel it, I hear it

Here it comes……
