In the middle of a gunfight
In the centre of a restaurant
They say, "Come with your arms raised high"
Well they're never gonna get me
And like a bullet through a flock of doves
To wage this war against your faith in me
Your life will never be the same
On your mother's eyes, say a prayer
Say a prayer!
Now, but I can't
And I don't know
How we're just two men as god had made us
Well I can't, well I can
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again!
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
My cellmate's a killer; they made me do push-ups in drag!
But nobody cares if you're losing yourself
Am I losing myself and well
I miss my mom; will they give me the chair?
Or lethal injection? Or swing from a rope if you dare!
Oh nobody knows, all the trouble I've seen!
Now, but I can't
And I don’t know
How we're just two men as god had made us
Well I can't, well I can
Too much, too late or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish
I'll kiss your lips again!
To your room
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say "So long"
But I don't remember
Why remember...YOU!!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
'Cause I'm gonna string the mother****er on fire! (FIRE!)
Life is but a......
DREAM for the dead!
And well I, I won't go down by myself
But I'll go down with my friends!
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now
(Haha!)
I'll be the waterwings that save you if you
start drowning in an open tab when your
judgement's on the brink.
I'll be the phonograph that plays your favorite
albums back as you're lying there, drifting off
to sleep... drifting off to sleep...
I'll be the platform shoes; undo what heredity's done to you:
you won't have to strain to look into my eyes.
I'll be your winter coat buttoned and zipped
straight to the throat with the collar up so
you won't catch a cold.
