I walked downtown to get my fortune read
She took one look and this is what she said
Hey, kid, just sing the songs that wake the dead
Then you keep them ringing in your head
Yeah, you gotta get it off your chest
Don't worry about the mess
I must confess, I took a hit, I'm in a bad condition
With all the chatter, where's the truth? I find it hard to listen
They want it loud, they want it now, they want it loud
Just get it out, just get it out, just give it out
Hey, kid, just sing the songs that wake the dead
Then you get that darkness out your head
Yeah, you had it with you from the start
The lightning in your heart
Yeah, it's gonna take me out
Yeah, it's gonna bring me down
But I'm just living for this feeling now
I'm out of luck on the floor, every sound is ringing
It's not the same anymore, I hear them trumpets singing
They want it loud, they want it now, they want it loud
Just get it out, just get it out, just get it out
As much as everything changes, everything stays the same
I've been going through phases, turning a page in my brain
And overhead in the distance, it's never looking the same
I'm going through changes, going through phases
Walking through mazes, cracking my brain
So hey, kid, just sing the songs that wake the dead
Just get that darkness out your head
It's the blessing and the curse, the dying and the poor
Yeah, it's gonna take me out
Yeah, it's gonna bring me down
But I'm just living for this feeling now
I'm just living for this feeling now
I'm just living for this feeling now
I'm just living for this feeling now
