lyrics

There’s something going on
And everybody knows
The second I stepped off the boat I felt it in my toes
There’s people staring at me like I come from out of town
Yeah, there’s nothing like community when strangers are around

I wander through the streets
This city’s like a dream
Pastries watch me through the glass; they know what I have seen
And people say the surface is as gruesome as can be
But once you cut it open, it’s even more obscene

He’s standing in the shadows
Out the corner of my eye
I want my baby back but I can’t take another lie

Oh, he swears he’s still around because he thinks I haven’t heard
So now I can’t believe a single word he says
The body’s animated but the man I loved is dead

The man I loved is dead
The man I loved is dead
The man I loved is dead, now there’s someone else instead
And everyone continues like the world, it didn’t end
Yeah, the city’s still breathing but the man I loved is

Whenever I go back
His ghost is always there
I swear I hear his whisper in the creaking of the stairs
Our footprints haven’t faded from the streets we used to stroll
And no one meets my eyes after the stories they’ve been told

And he swears he’s still around because he thinks I haven’t heard
So now I can’t believe a single word he says
The body’s animated but the man I loved is dead

The man I loved is dead
The man I loved is dead
The man I loved is dead, now there’s someone else instead
And everyone continues like the world, it didn’t end
Yeah, the city’s still breathing but the man I loved is dead

And I know what you would say
That I’m dishonoring your name
If I ever really loved you, I should never be the same
My friend, I love you more than I ever could have said
Now there’s something in your clothes but the man I loved is dead

Dead

The body’s animated but the man I loved is
