I died    So many years ago    You can make me feel    Like it isn't so    And why you come to be with me    I think I finally know    Mmm      You're scared    Ashamed of what you feel    And you can't tell the ones you love    You know they couldn't deal    Whisper in a dead man's ear    It doesn't make it real       That's great   But I don't want to play    Because being with you touches me    More than I can say    And since I’m only dead to you    I’m saying stay away and    Let me rest in peace       Let me rest in peace    Let me get some sleep    Let me take my love and bury it    In a hole, six foot deep    I can lay my body down    But I can't find my sweet release    So let me rest in peace       You know   You got a willing slave    You just love to play the thought    That you might misbehave    Until you do, I'm telling you    Stop visiting my grave    Let me rest in peace       I know I should go    But I follow you like a man possessed    There's a traitor here beneath my breast    And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed    If my heart could beat, it would break my chest    But I can see you're unimpressed    So leave me be and      Let me rest in peace    Let me get some sleep    Let me take my love and bury it    In a hole, six foot deep    I can lay my body down    But I can't find my sweet release    Let me rest in peace    Why won't you    Let me rest in peace?
