My eyes are dead, there's no light in them The blood's not red, dead man walking The money's dead, don't have any My dreams are dead, I don't believe them Everything's dead Your love is dead, and all my hope's with it I wanna go to bed, and sleep for five years in it Ariel's not dead, he's lonely in L.A I tell myself that I'm not dead That it just seems that way Everything's dead You know I've been around You know I've been here a few times I'm not just gonna drop it Be another dying poet Now I'm back in my cellar Can't ask me about the weather Someone said that to create art means To be alone crazy forever Everything's dead I surrender, I'm not gonna go astray I thought about it, I'm not gonna try To make her pay But I'm still in her jail But that don't matter What's right matters So with my love, my love be on your way I've got no time to mourn I've got time to be reborn Time to stand up straight Get that food on the plates I know a love that's eternal What's this little funeral I know that I'm not telling lies I just got something in my eyes Everything looks dead
