in the middle of a gun fight
in the center of a resturant
they say, "come with your arms raised high!"
well they're never gonna get me
i'm like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your faith in me,
your life will never be the same
on your mother's eyes say a prayer
say a prayer

now, but i cant
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i cant,
well i can
too much, too late and just not enough of this
pain in my heart for your dying wish
i kiss your lips again

they all cheat at cards, and the checkers are lost
my cellmate is a killer, he made me do push-ups in drag
but nobody cares if you're losing yourself
am i losing myself and well
i miss my mom
will they give me the chair?
or lethal injection
or swing from a rope if you dare
oh nobody knows all the trouble i've seen

now, well i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't,
well i can
too much, too late and just not enough of this
pain in my heart for your dying wish
i kiss your lips again

to your room
what they ask of you
will make you want to say "so long"
but i dont remember
why remember?

(do you have the keys to the hotel?
'cause i'm gonna set the motherfucker on fire)

life is but a dream for the dead
and well i, i won't go down by myself
but i'll go down with my friends
take it like a man
now, now now now
now now now
now now now

oh! oh! oh! oh! oh! oh!
