Dead Blonde Girlfriend – Bring Out Your Dead lyrics

Album: Pretty as a Picture

Wake up o’ wake up I’m at it again
Coming down fast right as rain
You gotta move you’re standing in my space
Bring out your dead and have them join the parade
When I thought I lost you, you didn’t want to be found
Locked up in your ivory tower or six feet under ground
The lights in your eyes we’ll they change to phony smile
The face of an angel to the face of a liar

(Chorus)
Suicide notes and dirt jokes made them all seem fine
Well I’m playing Jesus walking on water and hanging on every line
You say that you’re an artist and I am so amused
You suffer for your life why do I have to

Fallen artist don’t get me started
I’ll shut my mouth cause they say I’m too honest
Little trips to heaven left me all but ignored
And I’ve sailed to all the seas of me and washed up on your shore
Cause I’m sick of treading water that I’ve changed back from wine
There are not enough of yours and there is way too much of mine
From a bottle to a bottom to the bottom of a bottle
Please remind me why I’m here I think I’ve forgotten

(Chorus)
Suicide notes and dirt jokes made them all seem fine
Well I’m playing Jesus walking on water and hanging on every line
You say that you’re an artist and I am so amused
You suffer for your life why do I have to

Time just slips away when I try and fight today
I’ve watched my black and blues all fade away
God says life is perfect and some say it ain’t so
And this open mics a soundtrack to the movie we all know
I can get so caught up when I think I’ve had enough
Strung out to get kicked out when your locked in I’m locked out
Brought to a break down found myself prison bound
Those who bring you light are always around

(Chorus)
Suicide notes and dirt jokes made them all seem fine
Well I’m playing Jesus walking on water and hanging on every line
You say that you’re an artist and I am so amused
You suffer for your life why do I have to

Another sunrise another sunset boys and girls place your bets
She loves me so I’m lucky cause she loves train wrecks
She said that I was special cause I loved her the best
That’s why she had to leave and you can figure out the rest
I’m doing all my wishing by flipping all my switches
I’m making music and you’re just making me sick
Scars and guitars rise you falling stars
We are the lucky ones cause we know who we are

(Chorus)
Suicide notes and dirt jokes made them all seem fine
Well I’m playing Jesus walking on water and hanging on every line
You say that you’re an artist and I am so amused
You suffer for your life why do I have to

(Chorus)
Suicide notes and dirt jokes made them all seem fine
Well I’m playing Jesus walking on water and hanging on every line
You say that you’re an artist and I am so amused
You suffer for your life why do I have to
