I've Been A Mess

American Music Club · Mercury [1993]

Lazarus wasn't grateful for his second wind



For another chance



watch his chances fade like the dawn and leave



I can barely tell you just how pale I get



Without you



I've been a mess since you've been gone



What were the first words that crowd heard him speak



I bet he was cursing at the sky



I bet he wasn't turning no other cheek



And was there still hope and desire left in his heart



For the last word in love



I've been a mess since you've been gone



Your beauty is just a slap in the face



That's gonna bring me back to life



Back to another sky that's blue



It's gonna turn me into another great American zombie



So hungry for you



I've been a mess since you've been gone
