Raise Me Up Lyrics

I've had a premonition

Inside my empty room

This little town is burning down

I'm going nowhere soon

I am so self-contained 

Growing holes through my clothes

My nerves are thin I've worn them in

Right down to all my bones

Raise me up from the dead

Two shots to knock her dead

Ha ha pay rent with human heads

And now I'm free

Raise me up

Take a ride

The only way to feel alive

Ha ha a straight-laced homicide

Is what I need

Nobody called me lucky

I'm done with fallling short

Nine lives are just enough

To play with death and call it sport

Two hands on the bottle

Dust storm left in my wake

Eight lives left

Seven six five four

Now cut the brakes

Raise me up from the dead

Two shots to knock her dead

Ha ha pay rent with human heads

And now I'm free

Raise me up

Take a ride

The only way to feel alive

Ha ha a straight-laced homicide

Is what I need

They'll remember who i am

When i'm gone

I'll live on

Get my lawyer

Gun and money

Hang them on display

If i'm running out of luck

Call my bluff

Lock me up

Bury me that day

Raise me up from the dead

Two shots to knock her dead

Ha ha pay rent with human heads

And now I'm free

Raise me up

Take a ride

The only way to feel alive

Ha ha a straight-laced homicide

Is what I need

My legacy

Is picking up speed

A saga worth the repeat

Drift on the edge

Soon I'll be dead

But not without a show
