in the middle of a gunfight

in the center of a restaurant

they say come with your arms raised high

well they're never gonna get me

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

too much too late

or just not enough of this

pain in my heart for your dying wish

i'll kiss your lips again

:chorus-

they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost

my cellmate's a killer

they make me do pushups 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 seen

-chorus-

to your room

what they ask of you

they make you want to see(?)

how long

well i dont remember

i remember

do you have the keys to the hotel?

life is but a dream for the dead

and well i can't go down by myself

but i'll go down with my friends

take it like a man
