Dead Man Songtext
von Jars of Clay

January 1, I′ve got a lot of this on my mind
I'm looking at my body through a new spy satellite
Try to lift a finger, but I don′t think I can make the call
So tell me if I move, 'cause I don't feel anything at all

So Carry Me,
I′m just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can′t find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral
But is was better than the party full of people I don't really know
They′ve got hearts to break and burn
Dirty hands to feel the earth
There's something in my veins,
But I can′t seem to make it work... won't work


So Carry Me,
I′m just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

Can you find a beat inside of me?
Any pulse?
Getting worse?
Any pulse?
Getting worse?
Inside of me, can you find a beat?

Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can′t find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan
