(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)

 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
  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

  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
  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

  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
  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
