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]
