Dead Again (song)

*Play this song on YouTube.*

"**Dead Again**" is a song by Type O Negative, included on their seventh and final album *Dead Again*, released in 2007. It is the first and shortest track of the album, even though this song isn't quite short, lasting four and a quarter minutes. It starts with Carnivore-esque music then gets to verses and choruses that sound like Misfits. The title track is about drug abuse and the sense Peter Steele having killed part of himself after suffering a relapse.

## Lyrics

The first to admit - I'm a doomed drug addict

And I always will be - hey man, don't follow me

No excuse for drug abuse

Said these lines a thousand times

Don't want to live atrial fib - from neurosis, sclerosis

Please make me smile - if you learn from my trial

Baby I'll pay this price - maybe saving your life for ya

I can't state this point enough

The pickup's easy, but the put down's rough

Up the nose or tap a vein - no one else but you to blame

I can't believe I died last night - oh God I'm dead again

I can't believe I died last night - I'm fucking dead again

Chemical joy turning thee paranoid

Recently buried deep Greenwood Cemetery, now

I had no pulse last time I checked

I'd trade my life for self respect

So I say with my ass whipped

There are some things worse than death

I can't believe I died last night - oh God I'm dead again

I can't believe I died last night - I'm fucking dead again

I can't believe I died last night - oh God I'm dead again

I can't believe I died last night - I'm fucking dead again

I can't believe I died last night - oh God I'm dead again

I can't believe I died last night - I'm fucking dead again

I can't believe I died last night - oh God I'm dead again

I can't believe I died last night
