Jesus, jesus help me
Im alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too
Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way its all gonna be

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Jesus, Im waiting here boss
I know youre looking out for us
But maybe your hands arent free
Your father, he made the world in seven
Hes in charge of heaven
Will you put in a word for me

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Listen to your words theyll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm thats confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man

Jesus, were you just around the corner
Did you think to try and warn her
Or are you working on something new
If theres an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder
Can we rewind it just once more

Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man
