lyrics

Dead Man

Every single hour every moment of the day
I look upon a wishing well and wonder what to say
through truth and lies and beauty there's a mystery to undress
but I'm tired of feeling guilty just because I'm unimpressed
I need someone to talk with
until it's time to leave
every since she left me
I need reasons to believe
my lonely eyes may frighten
you'll see them when I sing
and they'll tell you how a dead man
is the very strangest thing

Now the dead man takes the daughters and he takes the lonely wives
he don't know what he's after so he messes with their lives
he cuts through air like silence breaks the skin just like a scratch
he lets you see inside him til you find that you're attached
some say that he's dishonest
but each lover's gently warned
I might not leave you too much
but tonight I'll keep you warm
with the sweetness of a stranger
'til the morning comes to rise
and I guess it's just a danger
if you think I'm telling lies

He's out there on the highway just before the sun comes up
and he sings to pass the hours 'til there's whiskey in his cup
he knows his days are numbered like the bullets from a gun
so he sings about the love that left the legend on his tongue
the chrome that started peeling
the heart that filled with rust
the one who left the feeling
there ain't no one you can trust
the one who left a world
to which he'd never quite belong
the one who made the dead man
is the reason for this song
she's the reason for this song
