Lyrics

[Intro] I walked downtown to get my fortune read She took one look and this is what she said [Chorus] Hey, kid Just sing the songs that wake the dead then You keep them ringing in your head, yeah You gotta get it off your chest Don't worry 'bout the mess [Verse 1] I must confess I took a hit, I'm in a bad condition With all the chatter, where's the truth? I find it hard to listen They want it loud, they want it now, they want it loud Just get it out, just get it out, just give it out [Chorus] Hey, kid Just sing the songs that wake the dead then You get that darkness out your head, yеah You had it with you from the start The lightning in your heart [Post-Chorus] Yеah, it's gonna take me out Yeah, it's gonna bring me down But I'm just living for the spirit now [Verse 2] I'm out of luck on the floor, every siren's ringing It's not the same anymore, I hear them trumpets singing They want it loud, they want it now, they want it loud Just get it out, just get it out, just get it out As much as everything changes, everything stays the same I've been going through phases, turning the page in my brain That glow up ahead in the distance, it's never looking the same I'm going through changes, going through phases Walking through mazes, wrecking my brain, so [Chorus] Hey, kid Just sing the songs that wake the dead then You get that darkness out your head, yeah It's the blessing and the curse The dying and the birth [Post-Chorus] Yeah, it's gonna take me out Yeah, it's gonna bring me down But I'm just living for the spirit now I'm just living for the spirit now I'm just living for the spirit now I'm just living for the spirit now I'm just living, oh, I'm just living [Instrumental Outro]
