Past Lives Songtext
von Langhorne Slim & The Law

I don′t remember being born
don't remember how it felt
I never knew the deal
or the way it was dealt
I know it was in August
and I heard it was hot
I know I got a mother
who loves me a lot
Do you believe in past lives?
Haven′t I met you before?
When they said that I was dead
it wasn't true
I was just dead to you.
And I ain't dead, anymore
maybe I was an outlaw or the law itself
maybe i was a rich man or the rich man′s help
perhaps I lived in China, perhaps I loved in vain
maybe I missed the boat, but made the train
Do you believe in past lives?
Haven′t I met you before?


When they said that I was dead
It wasn't true
I was just dead to you
And I ain′t dead
I ain't dead, anymore
I wish that I were good
oh man, I wish that I were great
I wish that I′d been early
more often than late
but nothing lasts forever
maybe that's fate
when you′re alive you're alright
when you're dead, you′re a saint
Do you believe in past lives?
Haven′t I met you before?
Oh honey when they said
Scolnick is dead
it wasn't true
I was just dead to you
Well I ain′t dead, anymore
