Past Lives

Lyrics

I don't remember being born Don't remember how it felt And I never knew the deal Or the way it was dealt I know it was in August And I heard it was hot I know I got a mother Who loves me a lot [Chorus] Do you believe in past lives? Haven't I met you before? When they said that I was dead It wasn't true I was just dead to you But I ain't dead, anymore Maybe I was an outlaw or the law itself Maybe I was a rich man or a rich man's help Perhaps I lived in China, perhaps I loved in vain Maybe I missed the boat, but made the train [Chorus] Do you believe in past lives? Haven't I met you before? When they said that I was dead It wasn't true I was just dead to you But I ain't dead, anymore I wish that I were good No man, I wish that I were great And I wish that I'd been early More often than late But nothing lasts forever Maybe that's fate When you're alive, you're alright When you're dead, you're a saint [Chorus] Do you believe in past lives? Haven't I met you before? Oh honey, when they said Scolnick is dead It wasn't true I was just dead to you But I ain't dead, I ain't dead anymore
