Language Of The Dead

[00:12.62] Take this lightning off of me
[00:17.18] Too wonderful for me to keep
[00:24.33] All the stories of Ancient Greece
[00:29.78] Agamemnon, great Ulysses
[00:36.05] Everybody talkin' 'bout the language of the dead
[00:41.43] Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said
[00:47.87] Well I'm not so self assured
[00:52.37] I can barely sing a word
[00:59.55] Fads of the 60's and the 19th century
[01:04.06] Leo Tolstoy and Robert E. Lee
[01:10.36] We got a war on in our duplicity
[01:16.65] Suburban white blasphemy
[01:22.96] Everybody talkin' 'bout the language of the dea
[01:28.32] Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said
[01:34.79] Well I'm not so self assured
[01:39.23] I can barely sing a word
[01:47.35] You can skim through every book they read
[01:53.64] You can dress a little smarter and claim your hit
[01:59.98] But the weight you've been seeking, you lifted it
[02:06.23] Plagiarize the twenties you never lived
[02:13.42] Take this lightning off of me
[02:18.94] Too wonderful for me to keep
[02:25.20] Throw your idols into the sea
[02:31.58] Dreamers, get your own dream
[02:39.68] Everybody talkin' 'bout the language of the dead
[02:46.82] Antiquated murmurs maybe Dylan might've said
[02:53.13] Well I'm not so self assured
[02:58.52] I can barely sing a word
[03:05.81] Well I'm not so self assured
[03:12.19] But I don't need to lift a word
[03:16.61]
