[Verse 1]
In the middle of a gunfight, in the center of a restaurant
They say, "Come with your arms raised high!"
Well, they're never gonna get me 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
[Chorus]
Now, but 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, or just not enough of this pain in my heart
For your dying wish, I'll kiss your lips again
[Verse 2]
They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
My cellmate's a killer, they make me do push-ups
In drag, but nobody cares
If you're losing yourself, am I losing myself?
Well, I miss my mom! Will they give me the chair?
Or lethal injection, or swing from a rope, if you dare?
And nobody knows
All the trouble I've seen
[Chorus]
Now, but 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, or just not enough of this pain in my heart
For your dying wish, I'll kiss your lips again
[Post-Chorus]
To your room, what they ask of you will make you want
To say, "So long," well, I don't remember, why remember?
[Bert McCracken]
Do you have the keys to the hotel?
'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! Fire!
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
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
[Outro]
Now, now, now, now (I can't explain)
Now, now, now, (I can't complain) now, now, yeah!
