Dead Man Walking

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
He swivels his headTears his eyes from the screenAs his past puts him back in Atlantic CityThere's not even a demon in Heaven or HellIs it all just human disguise?As I walk down the aisleAnd I'm gone gone gone[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality]Now I'm older than movies[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]Let me dance away[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]Now I'm wiser than dreams[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]Let me fly fly fly[Spinning slack through reality]While I'm touching tomorrow[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]And I know who's there[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly][Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]When silhouettes fall[Spinning slack through reality]And I'm goneLike I'm dancing on angelsAnd I'm gone through a crack in the pastLike a dead man walkingLike a dead man walkingThree old men dancing under the lamplightShaking their sex and their bonesAnd the boys that we wereAn alien nation in therapySliding naked and newLike a bad tempered childOn a rain slicked streetAnd I'm gone gone gone[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality]Now I'm older than movies[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]Let me dance away[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]Now I'm wiser than dreams[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]Let me fly fly fly[Spinning slack through reality]While I'm touching tomorrow[Deadens my brain falling up through the years]And I know who's there[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly][Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]When silhouettes fall[Spinning slack through reality]And I'm gone[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality][Deadens my brain falling up through the years][Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly][Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone][Spinning slack through reality][Deadens my brain falling up through the years][Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly][Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone][Spinning slack through reality]And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angelsAnd I'm gone, through the crack in the pastLike a dead man walkingLike a dead man walkingLike a dead manLike a dead man walkingAnd I'm gone gone gone[Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality][Deadens my brain falling up through the years]Let me dance, dance, dance[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly][Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone]And I'm gone, gone, gone[Spinning slack through reality][Deadens my brain falling up through the years][Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly]Let me dance, dance, dance[Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone][Spinning slack through reality]And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angelsAnd I'm gone, through a crack in the pastAnd I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angelsAnd I'm gone, through the crack in the pastLike a dead man walkingLike a dead man walking
