Dead Man Incorporated Lyrics

I fell asleep in a cool cold sweat
I never anticipated
A man with a knife
Just lookin' for a fight
I never initiated
He whispered my name
So calm and so cool
He stood in the shadows and waited
I didn't know what I had done
Should I run?

My options were surely ill fated

Is this real?
I could feel
He was close
He was hot on my heels
If it's a nightmare, it's way overrated
He told me that he worked for
Dead Man Incorporated

He told me
I wasn't the one that they want
I wasn't the one they were chasin'
Somehow I just was along for the ride
I knew of the fate I was facin'
A man on the run
And the smoke from his gun
Was somehow so strangely famiiar
He said you're a witness
To a crime my friend
And if they find you
They're gonna kill ya

It's a hunt, it's a chase
I was starin' at a gun in my face
If it's a nightmare, it's way overrated
He told me I was wanted
By Dead Man Incorporated

Tires were screechin'
Bloodied hands were reachin'
And bullets were flyin' right by me
Guns they were poppin'
Bodies were droppin'
To the violence there just seemed
No stoppin'
Then somebody shook me
I swung as he took me
He said it's a dream simply stated
The movie marquis out my window
It read
"Dead Man Incorporated"

Is this real?
I could feel
He was close
He was hot on my heels
If it's a nightmare, it's way overrated
He told me that he worked for
Dead Man ...

It's a hunt, it's a chase
I was starin' at a gun in my face
If it's a nightmare, it's way overrated
He told me I was wanted
By Dead Man Incorporated
