SPIKE: I died
So many years ago.
But you can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
Mmm, mmm.

You're scared.
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear,
It doesn't make it real.

That's great.
But I don't wanna play.
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say.
But since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away (lies down on the coffin, crosses arms over his chest)
And let me rest in peace.


(refrain)
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace!

You know
You've got a willing slave (on knees)
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave.
But till you do I'm telling you,
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace!

(bridge)
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat, it would break my chest
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be.

(refrain)
And let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release...
Let me rest in peace.
Why won't you
Let me rest in peace?


(Buffy runs off)
