Capitol 6 Playing Dead
Well I used to hold my head up
High enough to see the sky
When I knew the sky would only rain
Well it was hard enough
Back then for this boy to pretend
Back when pretending was a game
I guess I'm older now
And old folks really should know how
To find a light inside the darkest days
So won't you come to mine
We'll get lit up by the ocean side
And come up with some clever things to say
There's gotta be some way
Find my head
You know this
'Cause I've been playing dead just to make it by
There's gotta be some way
Find my head
You know this
'Cause I've been playing dead just to make it by
Now there's a part of me
That has a decent heart you see
Problem is that I can't tell which side
It is that I prefer
So I decided I'd ask her
And she told me it was the half that died
So what's that leave me with
Some alcoholics urban myth
About the way the Bible never lies
Bet I guess if that's the case
It's safe to say I have no place
Talking 'bout what other people hide
There's gotta be some way
Find my head
You know this
'Cause I've been playing dead just to make it by
There's gotta be some way
I can find my head
You know this
'Cause I've been playing dead just to make it by
There's gotta be some way
Find my head
You know this
'Cause I've been playing dead just to make it by
There's gotta be some way
Find my head
You know this
'Cause I've been playing dead just to make it by, yeah
