I died    So many years ago    But you can make me feel    Like it isn't so    And why you come to be with me    I think I finally know    Mmmm       You're scared    Ashamed of what you feel    And you can't tell the ones you love    You know they couldn't deal    A whisper in a dead man's ear,    It doesn't make it real       That's great - -    But I don't wanna play    'Cuz being with you touches me    More than I can say    But since I'm only dead to you    I'm saying 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 six 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 willing slave    And you just love the blatant 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 possessed    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 you're unimpressed    So, leave me be       Let me rest in peace    Let me get some sleep    Let me take my love and bury it    In a hole six foot deep    I can lay my body down    But I can't find my sweet release    Let me rest in peace    Why won't you let me rest in peace?
