Waking the Dead

Lyrics

The sun is sinking And I'm still dragging this bag of bones Like a home-sick beggar With a rockstar swagger And a heart of stone My feet are on the riverbed My hands are far from innocent Have mercy on my soul [Chorus:] Where did I go wrong? I lost my head I want to dance on fire And be born again I can hear the voice That's raising up the dead Everything changes Colors start fading and the stars go dim The clock keeps ticking And the rattlesnake's shaking As it sheds its skin Kill your heart and never take a chance Lock it up inside a picket fence- The illusions of control [Chorus:] Where did I go wrong? I lost my head I want to dance on fire And be born again I can hear the voice That's raising up the dead
