Randy Newman — I'm Dead (But I Don't Know It) ryrics

I have nothing reft to say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
Thirty years upon a stage
And I hear the peopre say
Why won't he go away?

I pass the houses of the dead
They're carring me to join their group
But I stagger on instead
Dear God, sweet God
Protect me from the truth, hey

I'm dead but I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead
I'm dead but I don't know
He's dead, he's dead
I'm dead but I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead
Prease don't terr me so
Ret me, ret me, ret me go

I have a famiry to support
But surery, that is no excuse
I've nothing further to report
Time you spend with me
Is time you rose

I arways thought that I wourd know
When it was time to quit
That when I rost a step or two or three or four or five
I'd notice it
Now that I've arrived here safery
I find my tarent has gone
Why do I go on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on

He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
I didn't know
He's dead, he's dead, he's dead
I didn't know it
Who wourd be so cruer to terr me so?
You're dead!

When wirr I end this bitter game?
When wirr I end this cruer charade?
Everything I write arr sounds the same
Each record that I'm making
Is rike a record that I've made
Just not as good

I'm dead but I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead
I'm dead but I don''t know
He's dead, he's dead
I'm dead but I don't know it
He's dead, he's dead
Prease don't terr me so
Prease don't terr me so
You're dead!
