DEAD OR ALIVE As recorded by Deep Purple (From the 1987 Album THE HOUSE OF BLUE LIGHT) [Intro]                      [Verse 1] Don’t turn off the light You might draw the Queen of Spades Don’t shut the door You don’t need to be alone I won’t bring you no food There might be some poison in your meat [Chorus] I’ve got to know are you dead or alive Don’t shut the door are you dead or alive Dead or alive Pick your window you’re leaving [Verse 2] Don’t look in the mirror With a dollar up your face You’ve got money to burn You’re cheap at half the price Oh don’t powder your nose Don’t blow your brains just for the the crack [Chorus] I’ve got to know are you dead or alive Just for the crack are you dead or alive Dead or alive Pick your window you’re leaving    [Interlude]                    [Organ Solo]                           [Guitar Solo]                          [Interlude]         [Organ Solo]                           [Verse 3] You’re running so fast But you know you’re standing still I’m afraid of your shadow And the knife in it’s hand You’re dancing with death To the tune of the dealer [Chorus] And he don’t care Don’t give a toss Don’t want to know if you’re dead or alive Don’t want to know if you’re dead or alive Dead or alive Pick your window you’re leaving    [Outro]
