I’m Dead (But I Don’t Know It) [Live]

Randy Newman

[Intro]
And here we go, thirty-two bars or so

[Verse 1]
I have nothing left to say
But I'm gonna say it anyway
Thirty years upon a stage
And I hear the people say
Why won't he go away?

[Verse 2]
I pass the houses of the dead
They're calling me to join their group
But I stagger on instead
Oh God, sweet God
Protect me from the truth, hey

[Chorus]
I'm dead but I don't know it
(He's dead, he's dead)
I'm dead but I don't know
(He's dead, he's dead)
I'm dead but I don't know it
(He's dead, he's dead)
Please don't tell me so
Let me, let me, let me go
Guitar solo

[Verse 3]
I have a family to support
But surely that is no excuse
I've nothing further to report
Time you spend with me
Is time you lose

[Bridge]
I always thought that I would know
When it was time to quit
When I'd lost a step or two or three or four or five
I'd notice it
But now I find I've arrived here safely
But my talent has gone
So why do I go on and on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and—?

[Chorus]
(He's dead, he's dead, he's dead)
But I don't know it
(He's dead, he's dead, he's dead)
I didn't know
(He's dead, he's dead, he's dead)
I didn't know it

[Verse 4]
When will I end this bitter game?
When will I end this cruel charade?
Everything I write all sounds the same
Each record that I'm making
Is like a record that I've made
Just not as good

[Chorus]
I'm dead but I don't know it
(He's dead, he's dead)
I'm dead but I don't know
(He's dead, he's dead)
I'm dead but I don't know it
(He's dead, he's dead)
Who would be so cruel and tell me so?
(You're dead!)

[Outro]
Thank you
Thank you very much, thank you
Thank you, I think
