Chorus 1 (repeat)
You're already dead!
You're already dead!
How can you be living
when you're already dead?!

Verse 1
I found the old man
at a quarter to nine
he'd flown over a bridge
broken his spine
he crushed his skull to pieces
and into his seat
I hid my eyes in horror
couldn't believe what I'd seen

Chorus 2 (repeats)
You're already dead!
You're already dead!
How can you be breathing
When you're already dead?

Verse 2
The ambulance people
showed up on the scene
but something wasn't right
they were missing their sleeves
they hadn't any color
and they hadn't their eyes
I jumped, ran away
and yelled back in surprise

Chorus 3 (repeats)
You're already dead!
You're already dead!
How can you be standing
When you're already dead?

Verse 3
I ran into my house
and into my bed
hoping that I hadn't seen
the living dead
I looked into the mirror
and into my face
my ears and teeth were missing
and I lost all my faith

Chorus 4(repeats)
I'm already dead!
I'm already dead!
How'd I make it back here
When I'm already dead!

Author's Note: I wrote this a long time ago, and forgot most of the lyrics except for the choruses. It's a punk song in the vein of The Offspring and Green Day.
