Dead To The World Lyrics by Wall of Voodoo

1979

Wander past the corner and I see an accident
Charred and mangled bodies scraping sidewalk and cement
And I hear a silent chatter
Like a high-speed phonograph
In a pool of stinking perfume
I was bound to follow you that night
[?] with plaster on her tongue
And I synchronize my motions
With proper human rhythm
I dig the deepest hole
And I draw the longest line
Surrounded by a circle every time
I sleep with one eye open
My limbs begin to shudder
My muscles start to twitch
I'm dead to the world
You know I'm dead to the world
I buy balloons but they always pop
I'm never there when opportunity knocks
I walk a big, black line
And hide behind a tired, worn face
I'm never there when my memories erase
I sleep with one eye open
My limbs begin to shudder
My muscles start to twitch
And I sleep with one eye open
'Cause I'm dead to the world
Just call me dead to the world
Call me dead to the world
They call me dead to the world
