I'm Dead Lyrics - Randy Newman

I have nothing left to say 

But I'm gonna say it anyway 

Thirty years upon a stage 

And I hear the people say 

Why won't he go away? 

I pass the houses of the dead 

They're calling me to join their group 

But I stagger on instead 

Dear God, sweet God 

Protect me from the truth, hey

I'm dead but I don't know it 

He's dead, he's dead 

I'm dead but I don't know 

He's dead, he's dead 

I'm dead but I don't know it 

He's dead, he's dead 

Please don't tell me so 

Let me, let me, let me go 

I have a family to support 

But surely, that is no excuse 

I've nothing further to report 

Time you spend with me 

Is time you lose 

Photos 

I always thought that I would know 

When it was time to quit 

That when I lost a step or two or three or four or five 

I'd notice it 

Now that I've arrived here safely 

I find my talent has gone 

Why do I go on and on and on and on and on 

And on and on and on and on and on 

He's dead, he's dead, he's dead 

I don't know it 

He's dead, he's dead, he's dead 

I didn't know 

He's dead, he's dead, he's dead 

I didn't know it 

Who would be so cruel to tell me so? 

You're dead! 

When will I end this bitter game? 

When will I end this cruel charade? 

Everything I write all sounds the same 

Each record that I'm making 

Is like a record that I've made 

Just not as good 

I'm dead but I don't know it 

He's dead, he's dead 

I'm dead but I don't know 

He's dead, he's dead 

I'm dead but I don't know it 

He's dead, he's dead 

Please don't tell me so 

Please don't tell me so 

You're dead!
