He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride Wasn't in the play 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
Chorus: 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
He is determined to outsmart this snake With conviction he will stand his ground Feeling invincible like death itself But his immortality won't be found What should he say at his own wake That he refuses to fulfill his fate He doesn't know that this is his last drive On the road we call alive
Chorus
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
