In 1916 he took a bullet to the head
They all thought that he was dead
But he surprised them
In 1981 I withstood similar attack
I got hit but I came back
And it keeps happening
I’m like Rasputin
I get back up again
I’m like Rasputin
I keep coming back, coming back
Coming back to life
In robes and Coptic crosses
Took his chances, cut his losses
He was evil so they tried to put him down
I had miniskirts and lashes
Life reduced this girl to ashes
Think I’m done? I’m not done
Time for one more go around
I’m like Rasputin
I get back up again
I’m like Rasputin
I keep coming back, coming back
Coming back to life
He gave some folks hope
Others wanted him to choke
So they poisoned him and shoved him in a lake
I’ve had lovers and detractors
But my one governing factor
Is there’s nothing they throw at me
That I can’t take
I’m like Rasputin
I get back up again
I’m like Rasputin
I keep coming back, coming back
Coming back to life
This world’s a messed up place
Our favourite act the fall from grace
Resurrection, isn’t it a myth?
When I think I’ve had enough
Born too late to be so tough
My need for love sees me, asks me
You coming with?
Like Rasputin
I get back up again
I’m like Rasputin
I keep coming back, coming back
Coming back to life
Like Rasputin
I get back up again
I’m like Rasputin
I keep coming back, coming back
Coming back to life
