The Slingers – Raising the Dead

The Slingers – Raising the Dead Lyrics

Artist: The Slingers
Song: Raising the Dead

The best is over, the rest is a charade
I smell the scent of your hair on the sheets, on the bed where you laid
I can’t even count the promises I made
So many debts I guess will have to go unpaid

There’s a light on in your room
There’s a shadow that isn’t you
There’s a look in your eyes, I wish I knew
But I can’t say I do

And she said
You should have given me the ribbon
You gave me rope instead
I turn my back on all the living

And that I’m raising the dead
The best is over, everything’s been done
Every play’s been played, every scam’s been run
I see a look in my eyes that says, “Hey, I’m not that young”

So many songs I guess will have to go unsung
Drunk and high on Independence Day
Look like Nixon feel like JFK
In my motel room with the TV on

For a second, I forget you’re gone
And she said
Sometimes I wish that you would haunt me
When I’m alone in my bed

The more I tried to make you want me
Might as well be raising the dead
I’m just raising the dead
Ooh, the best is over, everything’s been said

If you need me, come and find me
Tonight I’m raising the dead
Yeah, if you need me, come and find me
If you need me, why don’t you see about me?

If you need me, why don’t you find me, child?
If you need me, need me, need me, need me, yeah
