歌曲歌詞
All through the summers into January
I've been visiting mosques and monasteries
Looking for the necessary body parts
Limbs and livers and brains and hearts
I'll bring someone to life is what I wanna do
I'm gonna create my own version of you
Well it must be the winter of my discontent
I wish you'd've taken me with you wherever you went
They talk all night and they talk all day
But not for a minute do I believe anything they say
I'm gon' bring someone to life someone I've never seen
You know what I mean you know exactly what I mean
I'll take the scar-faced Pacino and the Godfather vandal
Mix it up and attack and get a robot commander
If I do it all right and put the head on straight
I'll be saved by the creature that I create
I'll get blood from a cactus gunpowder from ice
I don't gamble with cards and I don't shoot no dice
Can you look in my face with your sightless eyes
Can you cross your heart and hope to die
I'll bring someone to life someone for real
Someone who feels the way that I feel
I study Sanskrit and Arabic to improve my mind
I wanna do things for the benefit of all my kind
I say to the willow tree "Don't wait for me"
I'm saying the hell with all things that used to be
Well I'm get into trouble then I hit the wall
No place to turn no place at all
I'll pick a number between a-one and two
And I ask myself "What would Julius Caesar do"
I'll bring someone to life in more ways than one
Don't matter how long it takes it'll be done when it's done
I'm gon' make you play the piano like Leon Russell
Like Liberace like St. John the Apostle
I'll play every number that I can play
I'll see you maybe on Judgment Day
After midnight if you still wanna meet
I'll be in Black Horse Tavern on Armageddon Street
Two doors down not that far a walk
I'll hear your footsteps you won't have to knock
I'll bring someone to life balance the scales
I'm not gonna get involved in any insignificant details
You can bring it to St. Peter
You can bring it to Jerome
You can bring it all the way over
Bring it all the way home
Bring it to the corner where the children play
You can bring it to me on a silver tray
I'll bring someone to life spare no expense
Do it with decency and common sense
Can you tell me what it means to be or not to be
You won't get away with fooling me
Can you help me walk that good land mile
Can you give me the blessings of your smile
I'll bring someone to life use all of my powers
Do it in the dark in the wee small hours
I can see the history of the whole human race
It's all right there it's carved into your face
Should I break it all down
Should I fall on my knees
Is there light at the end of the tunnel can you tell me please
Stand over there by the cypress tree
Where the Trojan women and children were sold into slavery
Long before the first Crusade
Way back before England or America were made
Step right into the burning hell
Where some of the best-known enemies of mankind dwell
Mr. Freud with his dreams Mr. Marx with his ax
See the raw hide lash rip the skin from their backs
Got the right spirit you can feel it you can hear it
You've got what they call the immortal spirit
You can feel it all night you can feel it in the morn
It creeps in your body the day you were born
One strike of lightning is all that I need
And a blast of electricity that runs at top speed
Shimmy your ribs I'll stick in the knife
Gonna jump-start my creation to life
I wanna bring someone to life turn back the years
Do it with laughter and do it with tears
