Dead Man Walking Lyrics - Earthling - David Bowie

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 brain falling up through the years] 

And I know who's there 

[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly] 

[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 a 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 

Photos 

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 brain falling up through the years] 

And I know who's there 

[Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly] 

[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 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] 

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 brain 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 a 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
