Intro

Verse 1

:

Jesus, Jesus help me

 I'm alone in this world

 And a fucked 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

Verse 2

:

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

Verse 3

:

Listen to your words they'll tell you what to do

Listen over the rhythm that's confusing you

Listen to the reed in the saxophone

Listen over the hum of the radio

Listen over the 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

Verse 4

:

Jesus, were you just around the corner?

Did you think to try and warn her?

Or are you working on something new?

If there's 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
