Matthew Perryman Jones - Waking Up The Dead

The sun is sinking

And I'm still dragging this bag of bones

Like a home-sick beggar

With a rockstar swagger

And a heart of stone

My feet are on the riverbed

My hands are far from innocent

Have mercy on my soul

[Chorus:]

Where did I go wrong?

I lost my head

I want to dance on fire

And be born again

I can hear the voice

That's raising up the dead

Everything changes

Colors start fading and the stars go dim

The clock keeps ticking

And the rattlesnake's shaking

As it sheds its skin

Kill your heart and never take a chance

Lock it up inside a picket fence-

The illusions of control

[Chorus:]

Where did I go wrong?

I lost my head

I want to dance on fire

And be born again

I can hear the voice

That's raising up the dead
