Jars Of Clay - Dead Man (Carry Me)

January 1:
I've got a lot of things on my mind.
I'm looking at my body
through a new spy sattelite.
I try to lift a finger,
but I don't think I can make the call.
So tell me if I move,
'cause I don't feel anything at all.

Oh, oh, oh...

So carry me!
I'm just a dead man,
lying on the carpet,
can't find a heartbeat.
Make me breathe!
I wanna be a new man,
I'm tired of the old one;
off with the old plan.

I woke up from my dream
about an empty funeral.
But it was better than the party
full of people I don't really know.
Well, they've got hearts to break and burn,
dirty hands to feel the earth.
I've got something in my veins,
but I can't seem to make it work...
...won't work.

So carry me!
I'm just a dead man,
lying on the carpet,
can't find a heartbeat.
Make me breathe!
I wanna be a new man,
I'm tired of the old one;
off with the old plan.

Can you find a beat... Inside of me?
Any pulse? Getting worse...
Any pulse? Getting worse...
Inside of me... Can you find a beat?

Carry me!

I'm just a dead man,
lying on the carpet,
can't find a heartbeat.
Make me breathe!
I wanna be a new man,
I'm tired of the old one;
off with the old plan.

Carry me!
(Carry me!)
I'm just a dead man,
lying on the carpet,
can't find a heartbeat.
Make me breathe!
(Make me breathe!)
I wanna be a new man,
I'm tired of the old one;
off with the old plan.
