Almost all the way through.
Intro
1.
He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride
Wasn't in the plan to be gone for long
But he keeps looking back over his shoulder
He knows that something might go wrong
The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure
Strange mood what is the cure
He's got that feeling of impending doom
Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb
Ref.
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
Boy you gotta learn what's true
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
The joke is on you
You ought to know better
You ought to know better
2.
He is determined to outsmart this snake
With conviction he will stand his ground
Feeling invincible like death itself
His immortality won't be found
What should he say at his own wake
That he refuses to fulfil his fate
He doesn't know that this is his last drive
On the road we call life
Ref: --//-- --//--
Bridge
Ohhh, Ohhh
Ohhh, Ohhh
Now the time has come
You can't play around
And you ought to know
You ought to know better
You ought to know better
Ref: --//-- --//--
(In a Live Version, I heard him sing:
"I'm sending My love to You Now
Sending My love to You
I'm sending My love to you now
Ohh ooh ooh" 2x)
