Playing Dead Lyrics - Meat Puppets - Meat Puppets

I'm dead, got nothing to lose 

the biggest fucker around's gonna give himself 

the blues trying to make trouble for a dead man 

what's that, you're mistaken 

the spot you wanted most has already been taken 

and it's been taken by your own self 

no reason for a hasty retreat 

you're dead just a little bit too 

perhaps you've forgotten all the things you can't do 

like letting your belly get swollen 

from lack of food 

and every broken rock or bone 

or blue-green god tree or the smell of damp 

or the touch of you reminds me 

of the you we once knew
