Album: Once more with feeling

Rest In Peace

SPIKE:
I died
So many years ago
You can't make me feel
Like it isn't so
But why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
MM MM

You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead-man's ear
It doesn't make it real

That's great,
But I don't want to play
But being with you touches me
More than I could say
But since I'm only dead to you
I'm sayin' stay away
And let me rest in peace!

Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep!
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole of 6 foot deep
I can lay my body down but I can't
Find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace!

You know
You got a willin' slave
But you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
But till you do I'm tellin' you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace

I know i should go,
But i follow you, like a man possesed
there's a traitor here, beneath my breast
and it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
if my heart could beat it would break my chest,
but i can see your unimpressed,

so leave me be
and let me rest in peace
let me get some sleep
let me take my love and bury it,
in a whole 6 foot deep
i can lay my body down
but i cant find my sweet release

let me rest in peace
why wont you let me rest in peace...
