Dead as Dead Can Be

Found a great “mood” poem (here) the other day:

Wake up and see
I’m dead as dead can be
The doctor told me.
Some day, I’ll get up, I’ll get up and walk away
Wake up, face me
Don’t play dead, cause baby,
I’ll spit at your feet and say-
‘you fuc*king disappoint me.’

Dead as dead can be,
Cold and too far away to see
A brief and vague reflection
Of what could and might still be,
In Amsterdam the tulips have all grayed
I wait for you to face me,
Don’t play the fool cause,
I’m waiting to spit at your feet and shout-
‘you fuc*king disappoint me!’

Cold and uncaring the scene
A scene of misery
The paramedic tell thee
‘Dead as dead can be.’
But some day I’ll get out of the morgue and pay
The way to fame and fortune
With a brain as hot as sin,
Yeah some day I’ll find you to say
‘You disappoint me
Baby, you disappoint me.’

Perfect! I found it while searching for one of Constantine‘s soundtracks: A Perfect Circle‘s (wikipedia, Last.fm) Passive (sorry for the crappy lyrics site) but I searched for “the doctor told”, instead of “my doctor tells me”.

    Impressive!
    We’ve all been disappointed at least once, at least by one person…
    (At least I believe so!)

    P.S. On line 10, I guess it should be “too far” instead of “to far”. Big deal! :)
