You've learned to read the stars, but you still cannot read these words.
The palms of your hands tell the future, but you were born with no hands.
You've been putting hexes on your exes and pretending to know what sex is, while the children are slipping through the cracks of the system.
You've been trying to get some, trying to convince her, while the children are slipping through the cracks of the system.

You've been talking to the dead.
You've been talking to the dead.
You've been talking to the dead.
We want to be alive, I want to be alive, we want to be alive.
You've been talking to the dead.
We want to be alive, I want to be alive, we want to be alive.
But you've got your lucky rabbit foot.
But that lucky rabbit lost his foot.

Oh and you trust astrology, and psychology, but you still can't fix yourself.
You can't fix yourself.
You've been putting hexes on your exes and pretending to know what sex is, while the children are slipping through the cracks of the system.
You've been trying to get some, trying to convince her, while the children are slipping through the cracks of the system.

You've been talking to the dead.
You've been talking to the dead.
You've been talking to the dead!
We want to be alive, I want to be alive, we want to be alive.
You've been talking to the dead!
We want to be alive, I want to be alive, we want to be alive.

For the lord is good (very good).
His mercy is everlasting and his truth endures through all generations.
Hallelujah, jah.

No love, no hatred, no
Envy (the dead can't speak).
No love, no hatred, no
Envy.
You're not alive.
No love, no hatred, no envy (the dead can't speak).
No love, no hatred, no
Envy.
The dead can't speak, but you've been talking to the dead.

You've been talking to the dead.
You've been talking to the dead.
We want to be alive, I want to be alive, we want to be alive.
You've been talking to the dead.
We want to be alive, I want to be alive, we want to be alive.
The dead can't speak.
