Dead n' Gone - The 69 Eyes

You think your tough You'd better think again I've had enough Right now i take my stand You're either on my side or by my side Or in my way Let your conscience ride Watch the hand you play before You're dead n' gone Dead n' gone Before you cross the line You'd better watch your step Take the time to think of what you say You're either on my side or by my side Or in my way Let your conscience ride Watch the hand you play before You're dead n gone Dead n' gone Forgive, forget That's just not my style I hold regrets and feed them to the fire You're either on my side or by my side Or in my way Let your conscience ride Watch the hand you play before You're dead n' gone Dead n' gone You're dead n' gone Dead n' gone

Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) One year ago with a flower in hand One year ago we wrote our names in the sand The wind would blow your summer hair (One year ago) Once easy love, now you're making it rough You know I try and say it's never enough You left with ease and didn't care (One year ago) What used to seem like heaven Feels like hell I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna get some fucking sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh Ten years from now we'll be tired and old Ten years from now we won't ever leave home Singing "I'll be there for you" (Ten years from now) Give me the one and only reason that could make me believe You were everything I want, But not the thing that I need It's hard to say, it's sad but true What used to seem like heaven Feels like hell I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna get some fucking sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone When you're dead and gone Nothing left here to say Nothing to celebrate Nothing left here to say Nothing to celebrate I wanna breathe with ease again I wanna get some fucking sleep again You only ask forgiveness after it's gone wrong I need to get upstate again I need to get my head on straight again You only get redemption when you're dead and gone You only get redemption when you're dead and gone Oh Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh (When you're dead and gone) Oh-Oh-Oh Oh-Oh-Oh When you're dead and gone

A circus of madmen running the show Where are we heading? Nobody knows Too much confusion with no end in sight A prison of promise polluting our minds Oh, no My heart's beating, buried alive Open my eyes, my soul won't survive Dead and gone My heart's beating, everyone cried Said their goodbyes, covered in lies Dead and gone The future is bankrupt, with no change to spare The city's on fire, a family affair You call it destruction, but you hold the knives The people's induction, the people's demise Oh, no My heart's beating, buried alive Open my eyes, my soul won't survive Dead and gone My heart's beating, everyone cried Said their goodbyes, covered in lies Dead and gone So gone Hungry as vultures, craving the thrown Posing for pictures, then eating your own Raising our voices, feed the machine They're coming to save us, but watching us bleed Oh, no My heart's beating, buried alive Open my eyes, my soul won't survive Dead and gone My heart's beating, everyone cried Said their goodbyes, covered in lies Dead and gone Dead and gone forever, baby Dead and gone forever Dead and gone Dead and gone forever, baby Dead and gone forever Dead and gone So gone

My engine pumpin' steam And I was grindin' at you hard and fast I was burnin' down the rails to heat the way Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track And I laughed at the conductor Who was tellin' me my coal would never last When the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came There ain't no empty cellar Need a gone dead train Once was at a time when I could mama shave 'em dry And raise a fever ice-down chill Waitin' at the station with a heavy loaded sack Savin' up and holdin' just to spill Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will When the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came There ain't no empty cellar Need a gone dead train Yes, it's a gone dead train Got to help it to burn You know it's a gone dead train You got to teach it to learn There ain't no easy way When your daily run a downhill pull And there ain't no easy day Wishin' for some jelly roll There ain't no switch been made To make your juicy lemon find A spring to run a dry well full When the fire in my boiler Up and quit before I came Ain't no empty cellar Need a gone dead train Yes, it's a gone dead train Got to help it to burn You know it's a gone dead train You got to teach it to learn You know it's a gone dead train Got to help it to burn You know it's a gone dead train You got to help it to learn Baby, it's a gone dead train Yes, it's a gone dead train
