[Verse 1] He climbed that rail with a grin Like nothing could go wrong One loose step, one thin ledge And he was gone before long Left his shoes by the door Still tied up neat Now they sit by the curb Like a joke with no feet [Pre-Chorus] One small choice One bad night One little dare Out of sight You laughed too hard You moved too fast Now the whole room knows That you won’t last [Chorus] Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die One tiny slip and it’s over Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die You turned a blink into thunder (oh-oh) Dumb ways to die [Verse 2] She lit a fuse with a stare Then held it in her hand She said, “I’ve got this” Then dropped it in the sand He crossed on red with his phone Never looked once ahead Now the whole block talks About the day he met the bed [Pre-Chorus] One wrong turn One wild brag One quick “watch this” Down the drag No second chance No rewind Just a stupid little moment Left behind [Chorus] Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die One tiny slip and it’s over Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die You turned a blink into thunder (oh-oh) Dumb ways to die [Bridge] And nobody planned it Nobody meant that fall But pride gets loud And luck gets small So keep your eyes open Keep both feet down The joke looks funny Till it spins around [Final Chorus] Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die One tiny slip and it’s over Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die You turned a blink into thunder (oh-oh) Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die Yeah, one more laugh and it’s gone now Dumb ways to die Dumb ways to die So think twice before you go out (oh-oh) Dumb ways to die
