Lyrics

Dead is Dead

What's dead is dead

What's gone is gone

What's dead is dead

What's gone is gone

But I don't feel that all the time

I don't feel that all the time

You still come on

You'd still come on

You still come on

You'd still come on

We go all some place after time

We all go some place after time

You're still not thinking

Oh, oh

You're still not thinking

Oh, oh

You still come on

You'd still come on

You still come on

You'd still come on

We go all some place after time

We all go some place after time

You'rе still not thinking

Oh, oh

We're still not thinking

Oh, oh

Now, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh
