Sooner Cheat Death Than Fool Love

[Verse 1] I tried my hand at poker That old, godless game I was dealt five aces I swear on Peter’s name [Hook] Sooner cheat death than fool love Sooner cheat death than fool love [Bridge] Love is not a tower, as the poets say Even the loftiest prison can be escaped I wish I never met you, of that I’m sure I ain't any better off than I was before [Verse 2] I’ll sooner reach Taenarum And into the lower world Steal the Helm of Darkness Than love another girl [Hook] [Bridge 2] Love is not a chemical, nor molecular clone I can’t remember the last time I felt so alone I’m sick as a dog, still my Love rings true I ain't any better off than I was with you [Verse 3] Cheat on Death and taxes Cheat the money from wealth But if you try to fool Love You’ll only fool yourself [Hook]
