Verse:

It takes a long time to kill a man 

Fifty-five years at least 

Until he breaks down 

Starts to look underground 
                              
To go off and get him some peace 

I want to die a lot quicker than that 

If my it's my only way out 

I've been counting up the costs 

Getting up on that cross 

I want to know what this all about 


Chorus:
        
Father Time, 
           
Steals our days, 
        
Like a thief. 
                                
There's no price that I wouldn't pay, 
 
To get some relief 
                 
Now I'm an empty shell, 
                        
Of a man I don't like so well 
                       
I am a living, breathing hell, 

Come on and resurrect me 

Verse:

I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine 

It didn't seem to help 

Ah she's got a pretty face 

With her wedding lace 
                                  
But I'm still waking up with myself 


I know what it means to choke it down 

Up, down till your legs get weak 

I know what it's like on a Saturday night 

To be alone on a crowded street 


Chorus:
         
Father Time, 
            
Steals our days, 
         
Like a thief. 
                               
There's no price that I haven't paid, 
              
To get some relief 
                         
And now I'm the shell of a man, 
                     
I can't begin to understand, 
                    
Have I forgotten who I am? 

Come on and resurrect me 

Bridge:
            
Resurrect me
           
Resurrect me
            
Resurrect me
            
Resurrect me
            -
Resurrect me

Come on and resurrect me
