[Verse 1]

This ain't what I expected from the land of the dead

The sands are sapphire blue, the sky is ruby red

And the air is alive, neon ghost threads on the wind

And the stars are a fire and I was murdered by him

[Chorus]

In the red jacket over there

Hammer in his hand and the pink dyed hair

Smiling like a lover in the crimson heat

And he ain't afraid of nothing because time repeats

He shot me in the chest to come complete

Sacrifice my past to the future me

[Verse 2]

And I’m walking through the meadows where the people grow

Trees so overripe with heavy human souls

Into the museums where the spirits preach

Through the portraits of the ages to infinity

It's creepy as the eyes all follow me

As I kick over the table of the final feast

Murder all my idols in a masterpiece

And bury all their bodies in Nirvana beach

[Chorus]

In that red portrait over there

Hammer in my hand and the pink dyed hair

Smiling like a lover in the crimson heat

And I ain't afraid of nothing because time repeats

I shot you in the chest to come complete

Sacrifice myself to the future me

[Post-Chorus]

Oh baby, you don't understand me

I'm a Deadman, I'm a Deadman

Oh baby, you dont understand me

I'm a Deadman, I'm a Deadman

[Bridge]

And I’m driving through your spirit like a haunted childhood book

Headlights down your highway in a Cadillac, see look

Here the sirens burn behind me as I escape from the Gods

To the roadhouse of your mind where you hide away from dodge

Here them explode overhead as we teleport through time

Lovers lost forever through a hundred million lives

And though it's hard to pin the tail on all the faces in the night

I think mine might be yours and I think yours might be mine

Oh baby, you don't understand me

I'm a Deadman, I'm a Deadman

Oh baby, you don't understand me

I'm a Deadman, I'm a Dead
