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

[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

Like I'm dancing on angels

And I'm gone through a crack in the past



Like a dead man walking

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 a rain slicked street



And 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 angels

And I'm gone, through the crack in the past



Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man

Like a dead man walking



And 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 angels

And I'm gone, through a crack in the past

And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels

And I'm gone, through the crack in the past



Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man
