dead or alive
There in the shadows, looks like a hand  Without its owner, to give it a command  It's got a purpose but I don't know what it is  I'm in trouble   There in the streets, looks 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 off, his 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 cupboards, like little mice  Hiding in the frigerator, that isn't nice  It's not an animal, it don't have legs  No one else can see it   It moves so fast, corner of my eye  Look again it's gone, it's hiding  Won't somebody help me, doesn't anybody care?  It waits so patiently, for me to lose my guard  I'm getting scared   Is it dead, is 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 dead, is 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 bones, them bones  If they could only talk!   Is it dead
