Frank Black

I'm Not Dead

I don't want you to worry, I'm okay

Just didn't want you seeing me this way

We tried to talk about it but we didn't understand

We never really talked much anyway

I finally found a place to call my own

A place where all good sinners can get stoned

I'll keep my holy vision, you keep your stupid pride

You said I couldn't make it on my own

But I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh

And now I can't get out of town

I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh

They've got me all strung, come cut me down

Like the weeds in all the cracks

All my memories come back

Like some Allegheny smack in the face

It's all just one big monkey house to me

Just living ain't the same as being free

Don't stop and think about it, it'll only make you sad

Come put me out of my misery

'Cause I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh

Where a man can lose his mind

I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh

They've got me suited up for crazy time

I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh

And now I can't get out of town

Hey, I'm not dead, I'm in Pittsburgh
