Can't Kill A Dead Man
Overkill · Other Songs - Overkill
Don't fail me now know you gotta last
Move it on up to the quick step, go
And I get more speed when, when I get real low
Yeah, runnin'
Can't kill a dead man, let your secrets fly
Yeah, Runnin'
Can't kill a dead man, move it on up
As fire fills the sky
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
Gotta, gotta get just a little more
Got the wake-up call head hit the floor
See there ain't nothin' more that I can lose
So, I get real slow when I have to choose
Yeah, runnin'
Can't kill a dead man, let your secrets fly
Yeah, runnin'
Can't kill a dead man, move it on up
As fire fills the sky
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
I'm leavin', I'm stayin', I'm broken down
For grievin', conveyin' I am renowned
In all my dreams I know, I can
In all my dreams I am a dead man
I'm leavin', I'm stayin', I'm broken down
I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
I'm leavin', I'm leavin'
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
Can't kill a dead man
