resurrect me

it takes a long time to kill a man, fifty-five years at least, until he breaks down, starts to look underground, to go off and get him some peace, i want to die a lot quicker than that, if my it's my only way out, i've been counting up the costs, getting up on that cross, i want to know what this all about, father time, steals our days, like a thief, there's no price that i wouldn't pay, to get some relief, i've become an empty shell, of a man i don't like so well, i am a living, breathing hell, come on and resurrect me, i tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine, it didn't seem to help, ah she's got a pretty face, with her wedding lace, but i'm still waking up with myself, i know what it means to choke it down, up, down till your legs get weak, i know what it's like on a saturday night, to be alone on a crowded street, father time, steals our days, like a thief, there's no price that i haven't paid, to get some relief, i've become a shell of a man, i can't begin to even understand, have i forgotten who i am?, come on and resurrect me, resurrect me, come on and resurrect me
