The Tiger Lillies - Dead lyrics

You play accordion You're going blind The world goes past But you're out of time And the people in your head Are all dead You stagger home The alcohol brings cheer Your weary body And you're full of fear And the people in your head Are all dead You had a mother And a father too Dragged up on the streets Were you And the people in your head Are all dead And so you're singing One last sad song The chords and melodies All are wrong And the people in your head Are all dead And the people in your head Are all dead
