WAKE UP DEAD MAN


Lyrics: Bono and The Edge. Music: U2.
Note: I really, really hate to censor things, but Angelfire rules state no profanity, and since I've worked my little arse off on this page I really don't feel like having it deleted on me. So forgive the asterisks... -Chris

Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a f***ed-up world it is too
Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN

Jesus, I'm waiting here boss
I know you're looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren't free
Your Father, he made the world in seven
He's in charge of Heaven
Will You put a word in for me?
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN

Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do
Listen to the rhythm that's confusing you
Listen over the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN

Jesus, were you just around the corner?
Did You think to try to warn her?
Or are you working on something new?
Is there an order in all of this disorder?
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more...
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
WAKE UP WAKE UP DEAD MAN
