Language of the Dead |
| Take this lightning off of me, |
| too wonderful for me to keep. |
| All the stories of ancient greece. |
| Agamemnon, great Ulysses. |
| Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead. |
| Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might’ve said. |
| Well I’m not so self assured, |
| I can barely sing a word. |
| Fads of the 60's and the 19th century. |
| Leo Tolstoy and Robert E. Lee. |
| We got a war on in our duplicity, |
| suburban white blasphemy. |
| Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead. |
| Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might’ve said. |
| Well I’m not so self assured, |
| I can barely sing a word. |
| You can skim through every book they read, |
| you can dress a little smarter and claim your hit. |
| But the weight you’ve been seeking, you lifted it. |
| Plagiarize the twenties you never lived. |
| Take this lightning off of me, |
| too wonderful for me to keep. |
| Throw your idols into the sea. |
| Dreamers, get your own dream. |
| Everybody talkin' bout the language of the dead. |
| Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might’ve said. |
| Well I’m not so self assured, |
| I can barely sing a word. |
| Well I’m not so self assured. |
| But I don’t need to lift a word. |
