Lazarus wasn?t grateful for his second wind   For another chance, watch his chances fade   Like the dawn and leave   I can barely tell you   Just how pale I get without you      'Cause I?ve been a mess since you?ve been gone   I?ve been a mess since you?ve been gone      What were the first words that the crowd heard him speak   I bet he was cursing at the sky   I bet he wasn?t, wasn't turning no other cheek   And was there still hope and desire, hope and desire   Left in his heart for the last word, for the last word in love      'Cause I?ve been a mess since you?ve been gone   I?ve been a mess since you?ve been gone      Your beauty is just a slap in the face   That?s gonna bring me back to life   Back to another sky that?s blue   It?s gonna turn me into another   Great American zombie so hungry, so hungry for you      Well, I?ve been a mess since you?ve been gone   I?ve been a mess since you?ve been gone   I?ve been a mess since you?ve been gone   Yeah, I've, I?ve been a mess since you?ve been gone
