D.O.A. - Van Halen

Closing out the night Too numb to feel Fifteen too many, but still behind the wheel Heeding no warning Control denied Reaching the end of the line Living too fast Throw it away No second chance D.O.A. Smell the searing flesh, smell it too real See the dead beneath the steel A tragic sight brought from the road No curtain call No going home Living too fast Throw it away No second chance D.O.A. Dead on arrival Closing out the night Too numb to feel Fifteen too many, but still behind the wheel Living too fast Throw it away No second chance D.O.A. Dead on arrival

Here I stand On my own two feet again It wasn't long ago Thought I needed you like a crutch to hold I was young With a sign on my back Take advantage I've got nothing But you can have it You can't kill What doesn't breathe anymore You think you've got it made And we are here to pave your way Like every breath you take dictates our survival No need, no use, we were dead on arrival Year after year Living in constant defense I found a new level of confidence Burning desire Ravenous hunger Something you could never cover You can't kill What doesn't breathe anymore You think you've got it made And we are here to pave your way Like every breath you take dictates our survival No need, no use, we were dead on arrival Take everything Like we are here to just give it away Without you we will decay But I got news for you We were dead on arrival D.O.A I don't need you anymore D.O.A We don't need you anymore You think you've got it made And we are here to pave your way Like every breath you take dictates our survival No need, no use, we were dead on arrival D.O.A I don't need you anymore D.O.A We don't need you anymore
