Dead Man Walking

by Nine Inch Nails

[Verse]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm gone, gone, gone
[Gone, gone, gone spinning slack through reality]
Now I'm older than movies
[Dance my way, falling up through the years]
Let me dance away
[Until I swivel back round then I fly, fly, fly]
Now I'm wiser than dreams
[Losing breath underwater well I'm gone, gone, gone]
Let me fly, fly, fly
[Spin slack through reality]
While I'm touching tomorrow
[Dance my way, falling up through the years]
And I know who's there
[Until I swivel back round then I fly, fly, fly]
[Losing breath underwater when I'm gone, gone, gone]
When silhouettes fall
[Spinning slack through reality]

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
Three old men dancing under her lamp lights
Shaking their sex in the bones
And the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy
Sliding naked, anew
Like a bad tempered child
On the rain slicked streets

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm gone, gone, gone
[Gone, gone, gone spinning slack through reality]
Now I'm older than movies
[Dance my way, falling up through the years]
Let me dance away
[Until I swivel back round then I fly, fly, fly]
Now I'm wiser than dreams
[Losing breath underwater well I'm gone, gone, gone]
Let me fly, fly, fly
[Spin slack through reality]
While I'm touching tomorrow
[Dance my way, falling up through the years]
And I know who's there
[Until I swivel back round then I fly, fly, fly]
[Losing breath underwater when I'm gone, gone, gone]
When silhouettes fall
[Spinning slack through reality]
And I'm gone, gone, gone
[Gone, gone, gone spinning slack through reality]
Now I'm older than movies
[Dance my way, falling up through the years]
Let me dance away
[Until I swivel back round then I fly, fly, fly]
Now I'm wiser than dreams
[Losing breath underwater well I'm gone, gone, gone]
Let me fly, fly, fly
[Spin slack through reality]
While I'm touching tomorrow
[Dance my way, falling up through the years]
And I know who's there
[Until I swivel back round then I fly, fly, fly]
[Losing breath underwater when I'm gone, gone, gone]
When silhouettes fall
[Spinning slack through reality]


[Chorus]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm gone, gone, gone
[Gone, gone, gone spinning slack through reality]
Now I'm older than movies
[Dance my way, falling up through the years]
Let me dance away
[Until I swivel back round then I fly, fly, fly]
Now I'm wiser than dreams
[Losing breath underwater well I'm gone, gone, gone]
Let me fly, fly, fly
[Spin slack through reality]
While I'm touching tomorrow
[Dance my way, falling up through the years]
And I know who's there
[Until I swivel back round then I fly, fly, fly]
[Losing breath underwater when I'm gone, gone, gone]
When silhouettes fall
[Spinning slack through reality]

[Chorus]
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
