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,
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!


Now, but I can't
And I don't know if we're just human
as God had made us,
Well, I can't...well, I can't!
Too much, too late, & just not enough this
Pain in my heart for your dying wish,

I kiss your lips again.

Well they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost,

[ My cellmate's a killer ]

they make 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!

Now, but I can't
And I don't know if we're just human
as God had made us,
Well, I can't...well, I can't!
Too much, too late, & just not enough this
Paid in my heart for your dying wish,

I kiss your lips again.

To your room...
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say, "So long..."
Well, I don't remember,
Why remember?

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... (I can't explain)
Now now now... (I can't complain)
Now now, yeah!
