I'm Dead (But I Don't Know It)(Album Version)

歌詞

I have nothing left to say But I'm gonna say it anyway Thirty years upon a stage And I hear the people say Why won't he go away? I pass the houses of the dead They're calling me to join their group But I stagger on instead Dear God, sweet God Protect me from the truth, hey I'm dead but I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead) I'm dead but I don't know (He's dead, he's dead) I'm dead but I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead) Please don't tell me so Let me, let me, let me go I have a family to support But surely, that is no excuse I've nothing further to report Time you spend with me Is time you lose I always thought that I would know When it was time to quit That when I lost a step or two or three or four or five I'd notice it Now that I've arrived here safely I find my talent has gone Why do I go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on? (He's dead, he's dead, he's dead) I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead, he's dead) I didn't know (He's dead, he's dead, he's dead) I didn't know it Who would be so cruel to tell me so? (You're dead!) Oh! When will I end this bitter game? When will I end this cruel charade? Everything I write all sounds the same Each record that I'm making Is like a record that I've made Just not as good I'm dead but I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead) I'm dead but I don't know (He's dead, he's dead) I'm dead but I don't know it (He's dead, he's dead) Please don't tell me so Please don't tell me so (You're dead!)
