Dead Man Walking [Bowie/Gabrels]
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 isle?
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
(Till I swivel back round when I fly, fly, fly)
Now I'm wiser than dreams
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone, gone, gone
Spinning slack through reality)
Let me fly, fly, fly
(Dance my way, falling up through the years)
While I'm touching tomorrow
(Till I swivel back round when I fly, fly, fly)
And I know who's there
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone, gone, gone)
When silhouettes call
(Spinning slack through reality)
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
Uh, huh
Three old men dancing under the lamplight
Shaking their sex, and their bones, and the boys that they 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
(Gone, gone, gone, spinning slack through reality)
Now I'm older than movies
(Dance my way, falling up through the years)
Oh, let me dance away
(Till I swivel back round when I fly, fly, fly)
Now I'm wiser than dreams
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone, gone, gone
Spinning slack through reality)
Let me fly, fly, fly
(Dance my way, falling up through the years)
While I'm touching tomorrow
(Till I swivel back round when I fly, fly, fly)
And I know who's there
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone, gone, gone)
When silhouettes call
(Spinning slack through reality)
And I'm gone
(Gone, gone, gone, spinning slack through reality
Dance my way, falling up through the years
Till I swivel back round when I fly, fly, fly
Losing breath from the water when I'm gone, gone, gone
Spinning slack through reality
Dance my way, falling up through the years
Till I swivel back round when I fly, fly, fly
Losing breath from the water when I'm gone, gone, gone
Spinning slack through reality)
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
(Gone, gone, gone, spinning slack through reality
Dance my way, falling up through the years)
Let me dance, dance, dance
(Till I swivel back round when I fly, fly, fly
Losing breath from the water when I'm gone, gone, gone)
And I'm gone, gone, gone
(Spinning slack through reality
Dance my way, falling up through the years)
Let me dance, dance, dance
(Till I swivel back round when I fly, fly, fly
Losing breath from the water when I'm gone, gone, gone
Spinning slack through reality)
And I'm gone like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone through the crack in the past
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
