Lyrics for Words Are Dead

I wanna buy you roses 'cause the words are dead Follow in the blindness, on the arrowhead For those words are dead, and you know it Yeah, them words are dead, lower them down Hm-mm-mm Hm-mm-mm Hm-mm-mm Hm-mm-mm Didn't know if you could deny the dead Leavin' them in silence, on a mouldy bed Oh, I am numb and over Their kingdom come, lower me down They are dead (hm-mm-mm) They are dead (hm-mm-mm) Hm-mm-mm, better you are (hm-mm-mm) Oh, don't cry for me (hm-mm-mm) Oh, don't cry for me (hm-mm-mm) Oh, don't cry for me (hm-mm-mm) Oh, don't you cry for me (hm-mm-mm) Lower them down in the ground (hm-mm-hm) Lower them down in the ground (hm-mm-mm)
