It takes a long time to kill a man
Sixty-five years at least
Until he breaks down
Starts to look underground
To go off, and get him some peace
I want to die a lot quicker than that
If it?s my only way out
I?ve been counting up the coast
Getting up on that cross
I want to know what this is all about
Father time steals our days like a thief
There?s no price that I haven?t pay to get some relief
I?ve become the empty shell
Of a man I don?t like so well
I am a living, breathing hell
Come on and resurrect me
I tried to dumb it down with a friend of mine
It didn?t seem to help
She?s got a pretty face with her wedding lace
But I?m still waking up with myself
I know what it means to choke it down
Down until your legs get weak
I know what it?s like on a Saturday night
To be alone in a crowded street
Father time steals our days like a thief
There?s no price that I haven?t paid to get some relief
I?ve become the shell of a man
I can?t begin to even understand
Have I forgotten who I am
Come on and resurrect me
