"Dead Man Walking" lyrics

Well, sometimes you get to thinkin' you're alive just because you're breathin'...
We've all had the time to think about the day that we'll be dying
It's the saddest thing to see for someone when those two worlds start collidin'
And nothing hurts as much as the pain of a soul that's divided

You're death is always with you on your shoulder
Watching everything you do
It's your foe playing games forever trying
To outsmart you
Your life depends upon which one you feed
The happy or the sulking
It's all up to you
Star making tracks
Dead man walking

Dead man walking...
Dead man walking...
You wear your heart on your sleeve until you can't stop the tears from falling
Well, I hope you find what you've been looking for someday...
Dead man walking

The fire of love can burn you up till you can't breathe, you can't even whisper
And those flames can turn the coldest heart from ashes into embers
If you close your mind like a door to kindness, it might stop come a knocking
And that could lead you down the road to be... a dead man walking

Dead man walking...
Dead man walking...
You wear your heart on your sleeve until you can't stop the tears from falling
Well, I hope you find what you've been looking for someday...
Dead man walking

Dead man walking...
Dead man walking...
You wear your heart on your sleeve until you can't stop the tears from falling
Well, I hope you find what you've been looking for someday...
Dead man walking
Yeah I hope you find what you've been looking for someday...
Dead man walking
Dead man walking
