Utterin' idle words from a reprobate mind
Clingin' to strange promises, dyin' on the vine
Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, it's makin' me feel so sad.

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

Satan's got you by the heel, there's a bird's nest in your hair
Do you have any faith at all? Do you have any love to share?
The way that you hold your head, cursin' god with every move
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, what are you tryin' to prove?

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

The glamor an' the bright lights an' the politics of sin
The ghetto that you build for me is the one you're livin' in
The race of your engine that overrules your heart
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, pretendin' that you're so smart.

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

What are you tryin' to overpower me with, a doctrine or a gun
My back's to the wall, where can i run
The tuxedo that you're wearin', the flower in your lapel
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, you're takin' me down to hell.

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it ...

Dead Man, Dead Man 2

TROUBLE NO MORE: THE BOOTLEG SERIES Vol. 13 / 1979-1981 (DeLuxe Edition) #2

  Shot Of Love session 8, Clover Recorders, Los Angeles CA - 24.apr.1981, outtake  

Utterin' idle words from a reprobate mind
Clingin' to strange promises, dyin' on the vine
Never bein' able to separate the good from the bad
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, it's makin' me feel so sad.

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

Every time you know all you want to know, it just could be not expressed
Now it hurts me to see that your face is good and one time you wouldn't say to make it best
The race of your engine that overrules your heart
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, pretendin' that you're so smart.

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

The glamor an' the bright lights an' the politics of sin
The ghetto that you build for me is the one you're livin' in
The silver seat that waits for you is so down upon your tool
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, you're runnin' out of rules.

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

What are you tryin' to overpower me with, a doctrine or a gun
My back's already to the wall, where can i run
The tuxedo that you're wearin' and the flower in your lapel
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, wanna takin' me down to hell.

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it

They killed his body some place else and dumped it into a long black Limousine
They arrested him for breakin' an' enterin' into a place that he's never seen
The filthiest girl that they could find would make it look like a pinup queen
Ooh i can't stand it, i can't stand it, the way they make it look so clean.

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it

Dead man, dead man, when will you arise
Cobwebs in your mind, dust upon your eyes.

Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it
Ooh, i can't stand it, i can't stand it.
