Dead Man, Dead Man
Dead Man, Dead Man
come alive
come alive when I say "five"
one, you betrayed me
two, you deserted me
three, you blamed me
four, you hurt me
and see, you have hurt me
before.
all this time I waited for
you to come and see about me
but you really didn't care, I know.
Now it's time for you to reap
all of the secrets
you thought I'd keep.
I sowed them deep into the ground
and watered them with the tears I found
after you said you did not love
the girl who put you up
on a pedestal so high
time for you to come down,
five.
Dead Man, Dead Man,
you're alive.
You're alive so look at me.
Dead Man, Dead Man,
do you see?
