Good As Dead by Grady
Good As Dead lyrics
They say I�m rich on paper but my pocket change is
light.
My teeth are sharp as razor but my words have lost
their bite.
Have you seen my woman? Oh say, �How was she dressed?�
�She�s all decked out this mornin� in her Sunday best�.
Her lips were painted crimson. Her dress was crimson
too.
I swear it had a little hole where tell came pokin�
through.
Chorus:
But you won�t see her weeping. My woman dressed in red.
If she tells you that I�m sleepin�, you know I�m good
as dead.
My pass is in abundance. My future�s in decline.
Can�t count the days I�ve wasted try�na please that
Caroline.
She keeps me on short tether and feeds me from a tin.
Her heart is made of leather and my soul�s tied up
within.
Chorus:
Calling all my demons. Come gather �round my bed.
If I look as though I�m dreamin�, you know I�m good as
dead.
I�m lying on a pillow stitched with golden thread.
Lying very still though��cause I�m as good as dead.
As my ghost has faded, I do have one regret.
Spend your whole life waiting and older�s all you get.
Chorus:
Calling all my demons. Come gather �round my bed.
If I look as though I�m dreamin�, you know I�m good as
dead.
I�m lying on a pillow stitched with golden thread.
Lying very still ya know��cause I�m as good as dead.
Calling all my demons. Come gather �round my bed.
In spite of all my schemin�, I�m as good as dead.
Still good as dead.
Oh yes, I am.
Dead.
