Dead Man Walking |
I stood up at central station |
Waiting for my man |
I went across this God-damned nation just to hold his hand |
I waited there for hours but he didn’t show up |
So I called him on the phone and he wouldn’t pick up |
And I don’t know what this fuzz is about |
I see dead man walking |
Tonight |
So I jumped into a cab |
And I threw my lucky chain (?) |
I was thinking about madness |
I was thinking about sin |
We stopped outside his house |
And I climbed up on to the roof |
I looked down through the window and realized that he had moved |
And he don’t know what he’s dealing with here |
I see dead man walking |
Somewhere |
And I landed on the front porch |
I knocked on the door |
A lady called Marie said |
«He don’t live here anymore» |
Oh do you know by any chance I said where to find him |
'Cause my heart seems to beat right through my skin |
And I don’t know why he’s hiding from me |
I see dead man walking |
Marie |
So I stole a bike in the Garden |
I headed for the street |
And I left my suitcase for them |
So I thought I’d call it quits |
I went down to the airport and I boarded the next flight |
I figured I could be in Spain by night |
I don’t know why he’s doing it really |
I see dead man walking |
From me |
I fell asleep over New York |
And I woke up in Madrid |
The only man I long for |
Is so quiet and well-hid |
I paid the taxi driver way too much to go down town |
When I got to his apartment he was gone |
He don’t know that he’s driving me insane |
I see dead man walking |
From Spain |
And down near the harbour |
My hunger got appeased |
But I’m still a starver |
When it comes to being pleased |
And as the ship came in I sneaked aboard on the left side |
I didn’t have no money or no pride |
And I don’t know why he keeps evading me |
I see dead man walking |
By sea |
A sense of being seasick |
Made me dizzier than before |
I grabbed a yellow mop and |
As we got into the shore |
A man back in Madrid said you’d spent time in Marrakech |
And I think I just laid eyes on your mistress |
And I don’t know how the two of you dared |
I see dead woman walking |
Right there |
I went up to the beach house |
It had a lovely view |
And as a further insult |
I saw not just one kid but two |
And they just stared me and said |
«dad who’s that lady?» |
I’ve never seen her in my life trust me |
And I want this stranger out of my house |
What’s the dead man talking |
About? |
So I sat down in the kitchen |
I told him 'bout the pain |
I spoke of how I missed him |
And he said «your insane!» |
I’m calling the police because you need to go home |
They’re gonna take you back to where you came from |
But that was something that he shouldn’t have said |
Now the dead man walking |
Is dead |
