Dead Man, Dead Man Lyrics - Shot Of Love - Bob Dylan

Uttering idle words from a reprobate mind, 

Clinging to strange promises, dying on the line, 

Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad, 

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, 

It's makin' me feel so sad. 

Dead man, dead man, 

When will you arise? 

Cobwebs in your mind, 

Dust upon your eyes. 

Satan got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair. 

Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share? 

The way that you hold your head, cursin' God with every move, 

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, 

What are you tryin' to prove?

Dead man, dead man, 

When will you arise? 

Cobwebs in your mind, 

Dust upon your eyes. 

The glamour and the bright lights and the politics of sin, 

The ghetto that you build for me is the one your'e livin' in, 

The race of the engine that overrules your heart, 

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, 

Pretending that you're so smart. 

Dead man, dead man, 

When will you arise? 

Cobwebs in your mind, 

Dust upon your eyes. 

What are you tryin' to overpower me with, the doctrine or the gun? 

My back's to the wall, where can I run? 

The tuxedo that you're wearin', the flower in your lapel, 

Ooh, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, 

You wanna take me down to hell.
