I died
So many years ago
You can make me feel
Like it isn't so
But why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Hmmmm....

You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
So whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real
That's great
But I don't want to play
Cuz being with you touches me
More than I can say
But since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying "Stay Away"
And let me
Rest In Peace

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me
Rest In Peace

You know
You've got a willin' slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But until you do I'm telling you
Stop visitin' my grave
And let me
Rest In Peace

I know
I should go
But I'll follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat
It would break my chest
But I can see
You're unimpressed
So leave me be

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me
Rest In Peace

Why won't you
Let me
Rest In Peace...
