Dead Man Blues lyrics

[Brogna / Christ]



I went to a doctor with a pain in my head

He said: "Tumor boy! Six months you`re dead,

It`s gonna be slow and painful

It ain`t gonna be no fun"

So I went home and decided

I`ll end it now my life`s done



Game Over, end of the ride

It`s suicide!!!



So I took out a shotgun, I put it in my mouth

I put it in too far, I gagged then ralphed

I jumped in front of a truck

I missed and only felt a breeze

Then I tried a bus, the driver stopped and said:

"Exact change, please!!!"



I survived, was still alive!



I dropped a toaster in the tub with me

It did wonders for my hair

Was gonna drive myself right off a cliff

Got lost on my way there

I took a jar of sleeping pills

But all I did was snooze

I can`t do nothing right

I got the Dead Man Blues!



Can`t get it right

I`m feeling so uptight

I can`t die I gotta wonder why

I try and try and try but I can`t die

I`ve got the Dead Man Blues

`Cause even if I win I lose



I threw a rope around the rafters

Around my neck, stood on a chair

The phone rings, my machine picks up

And guess who`s there?

It`s a message from my doctor

And he says: "Hey lucky break!

It was just a dirt on the X-ray

Whoops! I made a mistake!"



And then I slipped off the chair

And I was hanging there:

I`ve got the Dead Man Blues

`Cause even if I win I lose

The Dead Man Blues
