Rest In Peace

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

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 want to play
'Cause bein' with you touches me, more than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you, I'm sayin' 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 willin' slave
And you just love to play the tought that you might misbehave
But 'til you do, I'm tellin' you
Sto 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 cheast
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be

And 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!
