January One I got a lot of things on my mind I'm looking at my body Through a new spy satellite I try to lift a finger But I don't think I can make the call So tell me if I move 'Cause I don't feel anything at all So carry me I'm just a dead man Lying on the carpet Can't find a heartbeat Make me breathe I wanna be a new man Tired of the old one Out with the old plan I woke up from a dream About an empty funeral But it's better than the party Full of people I don't really know Well, they've got hearts to break and burn Dirty hands to feel the earth There's something in my veins But I can't seem to make it work It won't work So carry me I'm just a dead man Lying on the carpet Can't find a heartbeat Make me breathe I wanna be a new man Tired of the old one Out with the old plan Can you find a beat inside of me? Any pulse, getting worse Any pulse, getting worse Inside of me, can you find a beat? Carry me I'm just a dead man Lying on the carpet Can't find a heartbeat Make me breathe I wanna be a new man Tired of the old one Out with the old plan Carry me I'm just a dead man Lying on the carpet Can't find a heartbeat Make me breathe I wanna be a new man Tired of the old one Out with the old plan
