Living On A Dare

Running all out, straight ahead,
death's waiting around the corner.
I'm sure when we come face to face,
I'll say give me one more minute
'cause I'm just not ready yet.
I've had my fill and took somemore,
laying spread-eagle upon the floor.
My back's filled with snake eyes.
My belly's filled with snake bites
and the devil, he won't let go.

Like he's going to listen.
Like he's going to care.
Life's been one hell of a ride,
living on a dare.

Somewhere in this madness God intervened.
He said, "get up off the floor,
you've got a lesson you'd better learn!
You're just not ready yet!
The Devil he won't listen!
No, he's not going to care!
Get ready for your mission!
Live!  If you dare!
I've given you all you need to survive,
so survive and be on your way!"

Yeah, the Devil's not going to listen.
No, the Devil, he's not going to care.
Life's been one hell of a ride,
living on a dare.

My eyes opened I was spittin' blood.
I didn't know where I was.
I swore I had this crazy dream
I was listening to the voice of God.
It's all still a little fuzzy
but, I know he sounded really mad.
I'm not surprised he wasn't pleased,
by all rights I should be dead.
One thing got stuck inside my head,
I'm just not ready yet.

Yeah, the Devil's not going to listen.
No the Devil, he's not going to care.
Life's been one hell of a ride,
living on a dare.
Yeah, the Devil's not going to listen.
No, the Devil, he's not going to care.
Life's been one hell of a ride,
living on a dare.
