Dead Man Blues

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
