Dead
Man, Dead Man - Bob Dylan
Utterin' idle words
from a reprobate mind
Clingin' to strange promises, dyin' on the line
Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad
Ooh i' can't stand it, i can't stand it, it's makin' me feel so sad.
Dead man,dead man when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.
Satan got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair
Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share?
The way that you hold your head, cursin' god with every move
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, what are you tryin' to prove?
Dead man,dead man when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.
The glamor an' the bright lights an' the politics of sin
The ghetto that you build for me is the one you're livin' in
The race of your engine that overrules your heart
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, pretendin' that you're so smart.
Dead man,dead man when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.
What are yout tryin' to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun
My back is to the wall, where can i run
The tuxedo that you're wearin', the flower in your lapel
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, you're takin' me down to hell.
Dead man,dead man when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it ...
