Bring Out Your Dead Lyrics
One brief recollection of all the people in my life that have come and gone One brief fleeting moment of people I've loved and people that I have wronged Long lost are loved ones gone but this bird cannot seem to mend it's broken wings so the lust for life dissipates and a new greed rises for the needful things.Don't wanna think about it, I Indulge myself distraction eases pain, bury my emotions to protect myself. Till I can't feel a fucking thing I've dared to dream I've tried to live, but I've played it safe again Just another slave to my vices now, Bring out your dead Voices wither and crack then die ringin' in my ear would sing me soft asleep Deathly silence now is all I hear has inspiration finally eluded me My addiction, my illness, my only trusted friend My addiction my illness my only childhood fiend.Your twisted warm embrace engulfing all I tried to be My body's breaking under arms that will not set me free Locked in this cage that I've built myself constructed out of twisted cold reminders of a life once lost But I've found my way again.Here among the wreckage and the vampires I'll play it safe again, just another slave to my vices now. My addiction, my illness, my only trusted friend My addiction my illness.

This is a song about someone whose addiction (to drugs, most likely) has overcome them to the point where they are looking death in the face.
No, it's a song about potatos
i agree most likely potatos, maybe apples?
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD BRING OUT YOUR DEAD!!!!
hey i was just about to post that... DAMN YOU firstarsbrnwhite
This is their best song... Well the guy is pretty dissapointed by human relationships... I don't think it's about drugs... probably about friends or even a girl... "bury my emotions to protect myself" yep
Potatos? This song is about me and your mom having sex!
this is just a bad ass song period
well some sad news about this great song, the songwriter and ex-bassist, jim cherry, is dead, found out he died yesterday, his songs like this and ultimate devotion will live on...
"I just sat in my room and played my guitar all the time. My addiction was my music, and my illness was that I was just a total slave to it. I would spend eight hours a day writing songs, writing whatever.."
