Wake Up Dead Man
Jesus, Jesus help meI'm alone in this worldAnd a fucked-up world it is too.
Tell me, tell me the storyThe one about eternityAnd the way it's all gonna be.
Wake up, wake up dead manWake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, I'm waiting here, bossI know you're looking out for usBut maybe your hands aren't free.
Your Father, He made the world in sevenHe's in charge of heaven.Will you put a word in for me?
Wake up, wake up dead manWake up, wake up dead man.
Listen to the words they'll tell you what to doListen over the rhythm that's confusing youListen to the reed in the saxophoneListen over the hum of the radioListen over the sound of blades in rotationListen through the traffic and circulationListen as hope and peace try to rhymeListen over marching bands playing out their time.
Wake up, wake up dead manWake up, wake up dead man.
Jesus, were you just around the corner?Did you think to try and warn her?Were you working on something new?If there's an order in all of this disorderIs it like a tape recorder?Can we rewind it just once more?
Wake up, wake up dead manWake up, wake up dead man.Wake up, wake up dead man.
