“Numb as a Statue” is a reflection on Zevon’s own impending death. The song features Zevon’s longtime session collaborator David Lindley on electric guitar.
[Intro]
Let's do another bad one then
'Cause I like it when the blood drains from Dave's face
[Verse 1]
I'm numb as a statue
I may have beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
So I can have some feelings too
[Verse 2]
I'm pale as a ghost
You know what I love about you
That's what I need the most
[Refrain]
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
So I can have some feelings too
[Chorus]
And I don't care if it's superficial
You don't have to dig down deep
Just bring enough for the ritual
Get here before I fall asleep
[Verse 3]
Ain't nothing special
When the present meets the past
I've always taken care of business
I've paid my first and last
Now can I get a witness, hey?
[Chorus]
I don't care if it's superficial
You don't have to dig down deep
Just bring enough for the ritual
Get here before I fall asleep
[Verse 4]
When I'm numb as a statue
I may have beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
So I can have some feelings too
I'm pale as a ghost
But you know what I love about you
Huh, that's what I need the most
[Refrain]
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
So I can have some feelings too
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
Some feelings from you
I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal
So I can have some feelings too
[Outro]
Yeah
Oh, yeah
