In the middle of a gun fight…
In the center 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!
[Chorus]
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’t!
Too much, too late, or just not enough of this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,
I kiss your lips again.
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,
My cellmate’s a killer, he made me do push-ups (in drag)
But nobody cares if you’re losing yourself…am I losing myself?!
Well, I miss my mom,
Will they give me the chair,
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope if you dare;
Ah, nobody knows…all the trouble I’ve seen!
[Chorus]
To your room…
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say, «So long…»
Well, I don’t remember,
Why remember…YOU?!
Do you have the keys to the hotel?!
Cause’ I’m gonna string this motherfucker 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!
