Dead Man Walking

Kings of Leon- Pyro Can be sung to the music almost exactly. I wrote this after playing(for the first time) a card game of hearts and the girl had all the hearts in her hand and was shooting for the moon(to take it all). Its also about getting involved in a relationship where YOU KNOW you will be used but, out of your control, and knowingly, you fall in love with her like every other suckered man. She's got everybody's heart in her hand It's just the game she plays it's just like she'd plan She takes the best of a man and then leaves him damned she's got everybody'sheart in her hand And I.....'m a dead man walking And my...... body is my coffin She's shooting for the moon It will all be over soon Put it down, turn it over she's the controller of you And all is done in one afternoon I cant stop her I'm amazed to watch her shooting for the moon And I...'m a dead man walking And my.... body is my coffin And if I......am good and free to go- Then why... does it feel like death row What went wrong Can you tell me What went wrong Can you tell me x4 And I...'m a dead man walking And my... body is my coffin If I....am good and free to go- Then why... does it feel like death row
