It takes a long time to kill a man Fifty-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 then that If that’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 wouldn’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 drown the pain 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 Saturday night To be alone in a crowded street
Resurrect me Resurrect m Resurrect me Resurrect me Resurrect me Resurrect me Come on and resurrect me
