lyrics

Drawing pictures with these broken crayons
The feeling drains from both of my hands
Affections lost in a cellophane land

Let's get drunk with a chance encounter
Creative sin with an out-of-towner
Stop beating the drum of what's already done

Let the dead bury the dead
Let the dead bury the dead
Give it up because it's all in your head
Let the dead bury the dead

Dancing mannequins drink desert wine
Plastic eyes reflect the absence of mind
They move their heads from side to side
Just to feel alive

You've been making this all serious and old
I think it's time to f**k and just let it unfold
Stop beating the drum of what's already done
Stop living your life like it's one on one

Let the dead bury the dead
Let the dead bury the dead
Give it up because it's all in your head
Let the dead bury the dead

Let the dead bury the dead
Let the dead bury the dead
Give it up before it turns blood red
Let the dead bury the dead

You don't have to live this way
You don't have to live this way
I don't care what you might say
I don't hear you anyway

You got nothin' but a bitter tongue
You are nothing but a hollow lung
You got nothin' but a bitter tongue
You are nothing but a hollow lung

You got nothin' but a bitter tongue
You are nothing but a hollow lung
You got nothin' but a bitter tongue
You are nothing but a hollow lung
You got nothin' but
