Cher Disaster Cake Lyrics

Disaster Cake Lyrics

If you're gonna make an omelette

You gotta break an egg

If you wanna be in show biz

Then you gotta break a leg

Babe you're heading on a journey

I hate to see you make

'cause the only food they sell there

Is called Disaster Cake

You won't plan or deserve it

When life sneaks behind your back

It'll grab you by the short hairs

And gently tie you up to the rack

If you think you can outrun it

That'll be your first mistake

'cause the recipe you're making

Is for Disaster Cake



Read my lips

Babe the crack that you hear is thunder

You don't know but you're goin' under

Read my lips

Babe that flash that you see is lightnin'

I had been up ahead

It's frightenin'

Yeah your're young and you're cool

Here to break every rule

- You're a fool



Now you won't listen or believe me

When I tell you what's ahead

I'm a dinosaur in your mind

I've never even seen "The Dead"

But child read my lips and tremble

'cause your world's about to break

And the crumbs they're sellin' after

Are from Disaster Cake

Read my lips



Girl you're heading for a disaster

You run fast - you need to run faster

Read my lips

'cause you're an accident waiting to happen

Yeah you're young and you're cool

But hell's full of young fools

Rest in peace



Yeah I know you're tired of listenin'

And you wish I'd just go away

If I do you'll be alone here

And then you'll beg my ass to stay

Babe, life's a paradox for certain

Like tryin' to fuck through an earthquake

Simpler task than eating

An entire Disaster Cake



Read my lips

Girl you're heading for a disaster

You run fast - you need to run faster

Read my lips

Babe that glash that you see is lightnin'

I have been up ahead

It's frightenin'

Yeah you're young and you're cool

But hell's full of young fools

Rest in peace
