Lyrics of I'm dead

I have nothing left to say
But i'm going to say it anyway
Thirty years upon a stage
And now i hear the people say
Why won't he go away?

I pass the houses of the dead
They're calling me to join their group
But i stagger on instead
Dear god, sweet god
Protect me from the truth

Chorus

I'm dead but i don't know it
(he's dead he's dead)
I'm dead but i don't know
(he's dead he's dead)
I'm dead but i don't know it
(he's dead he's dead)
Please don't tell me so
Let me, let me go

I have a family to support
But surely, that is no excuse
I've nothing further to report
Time you spend with me
Is time you lose

Bridge

I always thought that i would know
When it was time to quit
That when i lost a step or two or three or four or five
I'd notice it
Now that i've arrived here safely

I find my talent is gone
Why do i go on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on

(he's dead he's dead he's dead)
I don't know it
(he's dead he's dead he's dead)
I didn't know
(he's dead he's dead he's dead)
I didn't know it
(he's dead he's dead he's dead)
How would be so cruel to tell me so?
(you're dead!)

When will i end this bitter game?
When will i end this cruel charade?
Everything i write all sounds the same
Each record that i'm making
Sounds like a record that i made
Just not as good!

I'm dead but i don't know it
(he's dead he's dead)
I'm dead but i didn't know
(he's dead he's dead)
I'm dead but i don't know it
(he's dead he's dead)
Please don't tell me so
Please don't tell me so
(your"re dead!!!)
