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
