[Verse 1]
I'm sorry about the sun
How could I know that you would burn?
And I'm sorry about the moon
How could I know that you'd disapprove?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'll never make the same mistake
The next time I create the universe, I'll make sure we communicate at length
Oh yeah

[Chorus]
But until then, better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, yeah, better than this
Take it away, 'cause there's nothing to miss

[Verse 2]
I'm sorry about the world
How could I know you'd take it so bad?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'll never make the same mistake
So if you're lookin' for a patsy, why not try the entire human race
Just to play it safe?
[Chorus]
But until then, better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head
Better off dead, yeah, better than this
Take it away, 'cause there's nothin' to miss
Better off dead, you're better off dead
Why don't you try pushin' daisies instead?
Better off dead, you're better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head

[Bridge]
And I'll never make the same mistake
The next time I create the universe, I'll make sure you participate
Oh yeah (One, two!)

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
And I'll never make the same mistake
The next time I create the universe, I'll make sure you participate
Just in case
