Dead Man
We can write the chapters of existence, starting now
Starting now, we'll throw it all down
I can see the shadows in the water, on the ground
On the ground, they follow me around
Behind every story, there's a quick end
Behind ev'ry smile, there's a clown
To understand it, guess I'd have to be a dead man
Trying not to laugh out loud
I can hear a lonely operator on the phone
On the phone, she can't call home
Overseas, the burns are third degree
And the collection plate's been passed, and received by me
I wish I could tell you, all you children, why you're here
Why you're here - we'd all sing along
Isn't that something? 'Cause there is no way of knowing till you're gone
When I'm gone, I'll prove you all wrong
Behind every woman, there's a good man
Trying not to bug the hell out
To understand it, guess I'd have to be a dead man
Trying not to laugh out loud
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Behind every story, there's a quick end
Behind ev'ry smile, there's a clown
To understand it, guess I'd have to be a dead man
Trying not to laugh out-
Behind every woman, there's a good man
Trying not to bug the hell out
To understand it, guess I'd have to be a dead man
Trying not to laugh out loud
Trying not to laugh out loud
Trying not to laugh out loud
Starting now, we'll throw it all down
I can see the shadows in the water, on the ground
On the ground, they follow me around
Behind every story, there's a quick end
Behind ev'ry smile, there's a clown
To understand it, guess I'd have to be a dead man
Trying not to laugh out loud
I can hear a lonely operator on the phone
On the phone, she can't call home
Overseas, the burns are third degree
And the collection plate's been passed, and received by me
I wish I could tell you, all you children, why you're here
Why you're here - we'd all sing along
Isn't that something? 'Cause there is no way of knowing till you're gone
When I'm gone, I'll prove you all wrong
Behind every woman, there's a good man
Trying not to bug the hell out
To understand it, guess I'd have to be a dead man
Trying not to laugh out loud
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Lord, don't take me out
Behind every story, there's a quick end
Behind ev'ry smile, there's a clown
To understand it, guess I'd have to be a dead man
Trying not to laugh out-
Behind every woman, there's a good man
Trying not to bug the hell out
To understand it, guess I'd have to be a dead man
Trying not to laugh out loud
Trying not to laugh out loud
Trying not to laugh out loud
