Song title: Mark Gillespie - Somebody Dead

Edit By: 216.73.216.206

a man all dressed in white
shining white, he's in a dress
he's got a little white hat
stuck on his head
a goddess who's never bled

somebody dead - hey
both eyes picked out by a vulture
in a different culture
and the bones ground down to make a bread
not a tear is shed

somebody dead - hey
at the riverbank there's a fire
a son at the pyre
breaking open his father's head
so the Gates of Heaven spread
many prayers are said

dead! yeah, you're just hanging by a thread
bang and you're dead! you couldn't care less
yeah, your death is just a breath away!

somebody dead - hey
a body down in the ground
but there's no sound
and a little stone at the head saying
"Lord, we'll never forget.
So glad we met"

somebody dead - hey
in a little box
it's got no lock
you've stopped the clock Lord
you're just about as alone as you can ever get
moaning it's all cold and wet

somebody dead - hey
a marriage bed, together in life
man and wife, children fed
such a long and stoney path to tread
on the knife's edge

dead to the world
oh boy! think of the wasted life you've led
you're really dead!
and girl, think of all the wasted blood you've bled
yeah, and nothing ever said
dead! and you say not yet
why don't you take someone else instead?
yeah, you don't want to be dead
you can't get it into your head
ain't it scary!
stone-cold dead!

somebody dead - hey
you think it'll go on and on
but you're dead and gone
somebody dead
less and less, day by day
death is just a breath away
one body dead!
somebody dead
it's incredible!
you can never tell
heaven or hell
it can't last forever

lock the doors
beat the drums
hey leper! ring your bell!
what the hell!

lepers! ring your bells!
