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             Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality
Now I'm older than movies           Deadens my brain falling up through the years
Let me dance away                     Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly
Now I'm wiser than dreams          Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone
Let me fly fly fly                           Spinning slack through reality
While I'm touching tomorrow       Deadens my brains falling up through the years
                                                  Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly
And I know who's there               Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone
When silhouettes fall                  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

Three old 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             Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality
Now I'm older than movies           Deadens my brain falling up through the years
Let me dance away                     Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly
Now I'm wiser than dreams          Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone
Let me fly fly fly                           Spinning slack through reality
While I'm touching tomorrow       Deadens my brains falling up through the years
                                                  Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly
And I know who's there               Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone
When silhouettes fall                  Spinning slack through reality

And I'm gone                             Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality
                                                  Deadens my brain falling up through the years
                                                  Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly
                                                  Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone
                                                  Spinning slack through reality
                                                  Deadens my brains falling up through the years
                                                  Till I swivel back round then 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
                                                  Deadens my brain falling up through the years
Let me dance dance dance       Till I swivel back round then 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
                                                  Deadens my brains falling up through the years
                                                  Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly
Let me dance dance dance       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
