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?

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

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

I'm sorry
About the world
How could I know
You'd take it so bad?

And I'll never make
The same mistake
So if you're looking for a patsy, why not try the entire human race
Just to play it safe?

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
Better off dead
You're better off dead
Why don't you try pushing daisies instead?
Better off dead
You're better off dead
A smile on the lips and a hole in the head

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!)

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