Dead Man Walking

Not rated yet.

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

And I'm gone, gone, gone
Now I'm older than movies
Let me dance away
Now I'm wiser than dreams
Let me fly, fly, fly
While I'm touching tomorrow
And I know who's there
When silhouettes fall
And I'm gone like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone thru' the crack in the past
Like a dead man walking

Three old men dancing under the lamplight
Shaking their sex and their bones
and the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy sliding naked and
new
Like a bad tempered child on the rain
slicked streets

And I'm gone, gone, gone
Now I'm older than movies
Let me dance away
Now I'm wiser than dreams
Let me fly, fly, fly
While I'm touching tomorrow
And I know who's there
When silhouettes fall
And I'm gone like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone thru' the crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
