There in the shadowslooks like a hand
Without it's ownerto give it a command
It's got a purpose but I don't know what it is
I'm in trouble

There in the streetslooks like a man
But something wrong that I don't understand
His eyes are open but he don't see a thing
His skin is peeling offhis bones are sticking out
I'm getting scared

Oh my God (is it dead? )
Is it living? (is it dead? )
Is it dead or alive?
(is it dead? )is it dead? (is it dead? )
Is it dead? (is it dead? )
Is it dead or alive?

Hiding in the cupboardslike little mice
Hiding in the frigeratorthat isn't nice
It's not an animalit don't have legs
No one else can see it

It moves so fastcorner of my eye
Look again it's goneit's hiding
Won't somebody help medoesn't anybody care?
It waits so patientlyfor me to lose my guard
I'm getting scared

Is it deadis it
(is it dead)
Is it dead
(is it dead)
Is it dead or alive
(is it dead)
Is it dead
(is it dead)
Is it deadis it

I remember there was a time
When dead and buried meant just that
Underneath the cold dark ground
Things stay put!

Oh them bones they make them bodies walk
Them bonesthem bones
If they could only talk!

Is it dead (fade)
