I'll tell you a tale of someone I know

Now he's gone there's nothing to show

Made the headlines for that one time

The burst of shadow and on it's way it died

Dead on Arrival there's no hope in hell

Dead on Arrival how can they tell

Dead on Arrival ain't it a shame

Dead on Arrival we'll never be the same

Live your life to the full never see shame

Speeding on that motor when your inside a game

Dead in an instant watch out real good

Bleeding everything ain't gonna look good

Dead on Arrival there's no hope in hell

Dead on Arrival how can they tell

Dead on Arrival ain't it a shame

Dead on Arrival we'll never be the same

Dead on Arrival D O A

Dead on Arrival there's no hope in hell

Dead on Arrival how can they tell

Dead on Arrival ain't it a shame

Dead on Arrival we'll never be the same

So I pick up the paper read it once more

I turn all white again I guess I was making sure

So in tears it lies I look to the skies

I'm standing at the grave site

To say my last good byes

Dead on Arrival there's no hope in hell

Dead on Arrival how can they tell

Dead on Arrival ain't it a shame

Dead on Arrival we'll never be the same

Dead on Arrival there's no hope in hell

Dead on Arrival how can they tell

Dead on Arrival ain't it a shame

Dead on Arrival D O A
