Dead Man Walking

You can try and run You can try and hide You can try to give yourself some peace of mind Sleeping with a pistol by your side You can roll the dice You can play it twice You can try to find something to hold onto When your Hands are tied Running through the night to another town Rear view mirror see it burning now Where flyin' feels like fallin' You're just a dead man walking Shooting out the lights on the motel signs Cyanide compromise You should learn when to stop talking You're just a dead man You're just a dead man, dead man Walkin' You're holding all the cards You'll take two aces over hearts You could have your face right down flat to the floor Got the dead mans hand but you still want more Running through the night to another town Rear view mirror see it burning now Where flyin' feels like fallin' You're just a dead man walking Shooting out the lights on the motel signs Cyanide compromise You should learn when to stop talking You're just a dead man You're just a dead man, dead man Walkin'
