ALKALINE TRIO LYRICS - You're Dead

"You're Dead"



What the hell is your name

And can you explain this mess

It seems you're playing a game

Where you only know how to take out the best



Cause if assholes could fly

This place would be busier than O'Hare

There's proof in the sky

It's as thick as our skulls yet it's thinner than air



I have something to say

If the chip off your shoulder should fall to your chest

Get it off right away

Cause if you don't then it won't be in peace that you rest

It's just a matter of time

That we all go away to a better place I'm told

It all sounds well and fine

But without you around I feel nothing but cold



And I now have nothing

But your heartbeat in my head

And a photograph of my traveling friend



So what the hell is your name

And can you explain this mess

It seems you're playing a game

Where you only know how to take out the best



Cause if assholes could fly

This place would be busier than O'Hare

There's proof in the sky

It's as thick as our skulls yet it's thinner than air



And I now have nothing

But your heartbeat in my head

And a photograph of my traveling friend

And I became nothing when I found out you were dead

When I found out I'd never see you again

And all the time they took talking in circles

To get them off the hook would take miracle workers

We're nowhere near prepared there's

no way of knowing

Why don't they just admit they're scared

Cause its already showing



And I now have nothing

But your heartbeat in my head

And a photograph of my traveling friend



And I now have nothing

But your heartbeat in my head

And a photograph of my traveling friend

And I became nothing when I found out you were dead

When I found out I'd never see you again
