You were laying on the carpet   Like you're satin in a coffin   You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"   Yeah right now, but not that often      Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   God I sure hope you are dead      Well you disappeared so often   Like you dissolved into coffee   Are you here right now   Or are there probably fossils under your meat?      Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   God I sure hope you are dead      Now the blow's been softened   Since the air we breathe's our coffin   Well now the blow's been softened   Since the ocean is our coffin      Often times you know our laughter   Is your coffin ever after   And you know the blow's been softened   Since the world is our coffin      Well now the blow's been softened   Since we are our own damn coffins   Well everybody's talkin' about their short lists   And everybody's talkin' about death      You were laying on the carpet   Like you're satin in a coffin   You said, "Do you believe what you're sayin'?"   Yeah right now, but not that often      Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   Are you dead or are you sleepin'?   God, I sure hope you are dead
