DAVID BOWIE LYRICS - Dead Man Walking

"Dead Man Walking"



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



And I'm gone gone gone

Now I'm older than movies

Let me dance away

Now I'm wiser than dreams

Let me fly fly fly

While I'm touching tomorrow

And I know who's there

When silhouettes fall



And I'm gone

Like I'm dancing on angels

And I'm gone

through a crack in the past

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man walking



Two young men dancing under the lamplight

Shaking their sex and their bones

And the boys that we were

An alien nation in therapy

Sliding naked and new

Like a bad tempered child

On a rain slicked street



And I'm gone gone gone

And I'm older than movies

Oh let me dance dance dance

Now I'm wiser than dreams

Let me fly fly fly

While I'm touching tomorrow

And I know who's there

When silhouettes fall

And I'm gone



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

Like a dead man

Like a dead man walking



And I'm gone gone gone

Let me dance dance dance

And I'm gone gone gone

Let me dance dance dance

And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels

And I'm gone,

through a crack in the past

Like a dead man walking

Like a dead man walking
