Dear Deceased

[Verse 1] In the car I am driving The cops bear down And in my mind, I am thinking Face of the clown And in the morning I wake up Breath, "Oh, why?" Because it's part of the program Prepare to die! [Verse 2] And in our day, the perfect routine Something safe and something clean And on our minds, that same old line "Prepare to die!" And in this work, I am working The 9 to 5 And I think to myself "Will I get out alive?" [Chorus] Sick or better Poor ghost man Haunt us both through thick and thin I said, "Now, where do I begin?" [Bridge] I've heard it said That a lounge singer Dies some way I've heard it said That a lover Leave you yesterday I've heard it said "Just one more to take" I've heard it said Lounge singer sings on the subway Sings about you and me On the subway "Just one more pill to take," he says Don't leave me Tie you to my legs And run around And tie passion to your face Don't let me down And tie your mother to your heart "Don't leave me," you say Die yesterday Don't leave me! [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] In a car, we are driving The cops bear down And in our mind, we are laughing Face of the clown [Chorus] Sick or better Poor ghost man Haunt us both through thick and thin I say, "Now, where do we begin?" [Outro] Lounge singer dies (Lounge singer dies) On the subway Sings about you and me (On the subway) On the subway Just one more pill to take (Travel through, you say, you say) Burning, hey
