past lives

Lyrics

i don't remember being born, i don't remember how it felt, i never knew the deal or the way it was dealt, i know it was in august and i heard it was hot, i know i got a mother who loves me a lot, do you believe in past lives?, haven't i met you before?, when they said that i was dead, it wasn't true, i was just dead to you, and i ain't dead anymore, maybe i was an outlaw or the law itself, maybe i was a rich man or a rich man's help, perhaps i lived in china, perhaps i loved in vain, maybe i missed the boat but made the train, do you believe in past lives?, haven't i met you before?, when they said that i was dead, it wasn't true, i was just dead to you, and i ain't dead, i ain't dead anymore, i wish that i were good, no man, i wish that i were great, i wish that i'd been early more often than late, but nothing lasts forever, maybe that's fate, when you're alive you're alright, when you're dead you're a saint, do you believe in past lives?, haven't i met you before?, oh honey when they said, "scolnick is dead", it wasn't true, i was just dead to you, well, i ain't dead, i ain't dead anymore
