Why Do You Refuse to Die?

Dust in my eyes, cigarette in my teeth
The shadow of you runs at my feet
I raise my head in disbelief
The ghost of you still walks with me

A bullet through your heart
A noose around your neck
I swear I saw you take your last breath
But there you stand true flesh and bone

I should have known
I should have known

Dust in my eyes, cigarette in my teeth
A real tough guy, a real dead beat
I raise my head in disbelief
The ghost of you still walks with me

I made a deal with the devil's daughter
She brought a gun in her purse and some holly water
But there you stand true flesh and bone

I should have known
I should have known

That your bones won't break
And your blood won't run
You've got ten lives left
Somehow I've got none
There're people cursing and praying for hell to take home
His cruelest daughter, cruelest I've ever known

They're screaming "Don't come back!"
So loud the sun hid his face and the sky turned black
But there you stand true flesh and bone
It's ringing in my ear that I should have known
I should have known

You make me powerful
When you say that you hate me
And revenge has never been more necessary
You survive
I've got a single mind
Cause you refuse to die
How did you make it so ugly!

Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
Why (why) do you (do you) refuse (refuse) to die? (to die?)

Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
Why do you refuse to die?
