Dead Man Walking

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He swivels his head Tears his eyes from the screen As his past puts him back in Atlantic City There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell Is it all just human disguise? As I walk down the aisle? [Pre-Chorus] And I'm gone, gone, gone (Gone, gone, gone spinning slack through reality) Now I'm older than movies (Dance my way, 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 underwater, well, I'm gone, gone, gone) Let me fly, fly, fly (Spin slack through reality) While I'm touching tomorrow (Dance my way, falling up through the years) And I know who's there (Till I swivel back 'round, then I fly, fly, fly) (Losing breath underwater when I'm gone, gone, gone) When silhouettes fall (Spinning slack through reality) [Chorus] And I'm gone Like I'm dancing on angels And I'm gone through the crack in the past [Refrain] Like a dead man walking Like a dead man walking, oh ho [Verse 2] Three old men dancing under the lamp lights Shaking their sex and the bones And the boys that we were An alien nation in therapy Sliding naked anew Like a bad-tempered child On the rain-slicked streets [Pre-Chorus] And I'm gone, gone, gone (Gone, gone, gone spinning slack through reality) Now I'm older than movies (Dance my way, 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 underwater, well, I'm gone, gone, gone) Let me fly, fly, fly (Spin slack through reality) While I'm touching tomorrow (Dance my way, falling up through the years) And I know who's there (Till I swivel back 'round, then I fly, fly, fly) (Losing breath underwater when I'm gone, gone, gone) When silhouettes fall (Spinning slack through reality) And I'm gone (Gone, gone, gone spinning slack through reality) (Dance my way, falling up through the years) (Till I swivel back 'round, then I fly, fly, fly) (Losing breath underwater, well, I'm gone, gone, gone) (Spin slack through reality) (Dance my way, falling up through the years) (Till I swivel back 'round, then I fly, fly, fly) (Losing breath underwater when I'm gone, gone, gone) (Spinning slack through reality) [Chorus] And I'm gone Like I'm dancing on angels And I'm gone through the crack in the past [Refrain] Like a dead man walking Like a dead man walking Like a dead man Like a dead man walking [Pre-Chorus] And I'm gone, gone, gone (Gone, gone, gone spinning slack through reality) (Dance my way, falling up through the years) Let me dance, dance, dance (Till I swivel back 'round, then I fly, fly, fly) (Losing breath underwater, well, I'm gone, gone, gone) And I'm gone (Spinning slack through reality) (Dance my way, falling up through the years) (Till I swivel back 'round, then I fly, fly, fly) Let me dance, dance, dance (Losing breath underwater, well, I'm gone, gone, gone) (Spin slack through reality) [Chorus] And I'm gone Like I'm dancing on angels And I'm gone through the crack in the past And I'm gone Like I'm dancing on angels And I'm gone through the crack in the past [Refrain] Like a dead man walking Like a dead man walking Like a dead man
