It takes a long time to kill a man
Fifty-five years at least
Until he breaks down, starts to look underground
To go off and get him some peace
I want to die a lot quicker than that
If it’s my only way out
I’ve been counting up the costs, getting up on that cross
Wanna know what this is all about
Father Time steals our days, like a thief
There’s no price that I wouldn’t pay to get some relief
I’ve become an empty shell
Of a man I don’t like so well
I am a living, breathing hell
Come on and resurrect me
I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine
It didn’t seem to help
Ah, she’s got a pretty face with her wedding lace
But I’m still waking up with myself
I know what it means to choke it down
Drivin' till your legs get weak
I know what it’s like on a Saturday night
To be alone on a crowded street
Father Time steals our days, like a thief
There’s no price that I haven’t paid to get some relief
I’ve become a shell of a man
I can’t begin to even understand
Have I forgotten who I am?
Come on and resurrect me
Resurrect me
Resurrect me
Resurrect me
Resurrect me
Resurrect me
Come on and resurrect me
