About

“You’re Dead” is a folksy jam with some ominous lyrics to open pop singer Norma Tanega’s debut album Walkin' My Cat Named Dog, named after her one-hit wonder single.

Tanega wrote the song as a sarcastic take on her struggles to break through in the New York folk music scene.

The song was repopular...

You’re Dead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't sing if you want to live long
They have no use for your song
You're dead, you're dead, you're dead
You're dead and out of this world

[Verse 2]
You'll never get a second chance
Plan all your moves in advance
Stay dead, stay dead, stay dead
Stay dead and out of this world

[Verse 3]
Run fast, don't stand in the sun
There's too much work to be done
You're down, you're down, you're down
You're down and out of this world

[Verse 4]
Don't ever talk with your eyes
Be sure that you compromise
You're dead, you're dead, you're dead
You're dead and out of this world

[Verse 5]
Hear the unloved weeping like rain
Guard your sleep from the sound of their pain
Long gone, long gone, long gone
Long gone and out of this world

[Verse 6]
When you smile and it tears your face
It's time for the inhuman race
You're down, you're down, you're down
You're down and out of this world

[Verse 7]
Now your hope and compassion is gone
You've sold out your dream to the world
Stay dead, stay dead, stay dead
You're dead and out of this world
