The Living Dead

[Verse 1] You came in pale With a diner stain One shoe loose And a split lip grin Your hand was ice But you held mine firm Like you knew the road Was already gone [Pre-Chorus] Tell me now What you want from me Tell me now Why your eyes won't sleep I hear the floor In your heavy step And my own name In your empty chest [Chorus] The living dead The living dead You hold me close Then you fade again The living dead The living dead Say my name once Then leave me with the rain [Verse 2] You laugh at dawn Like it owes you rent You wear my ring On a broken chain At the kitchen sink You wash your hands But the water runs Like a funeral band [Pre-Chorus] Tell me now What you want from me Tell me now Why your eyes won't sleep I hear the floor In your heavy step And my own name In your empty chest [Chorus] The living dead The living dead You hold me close Then you fade again The living dead The living dead Say my name once Then leave me with the rain [Bridge] If I lock the door Will you knock for more If I turn away Will you stay that way Put your cold mouth near Say it crystal clear Are you gone for good Or just half here [Final Chorus] The living dead The living dead You hold me close Then you fade again The living dead The living dead Say my name once Then leave me with the rain The living dead The living dead I love the grave That learned to breathe again
