All through the summers
into January
I've been visiting morgues
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 wanna 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
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 Scarface Pacino
and The Godfather Brando
Mix it up in a tank
and get a robot commando
If I do it upright
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 at 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 mankind
I say to the willow tree
Don't weep for me
I'm saying to hell to all things
that I used to be
Well I 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 will 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 gonna 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 at the 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
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 moonlight 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 jumpstart
my creation to life
I wanna bring someone to life
turn back the years
Do it with laughter
and do it with tears
