lyrics

Shots rang out under the full moon
Snow on the ground 
I hear little ones cry, it splits the night 
I came running for you 
I take the long way home
But I can feel a stone where a heart used to be

And after all my talking he's just another dead man walking
Well the papers would not run the story but the story ran with me 

So I walked all night, as far as I could 
In the full moon light, and there I stood 
Fell down on my knee, wounded for the last time
Was I what you wanted me to be?
The cemetery's filled with your enemies 
And they're all dancing with me 

CHORUS

Time's running out from the inside, 
I was running in from the outside
Time's running out from the inside 
I was running in and out, in and out, in and out
Just like a thief in the night, he's taking his flight 
A thief in the night he's taking flight  

CHORUS

It won’t set me free—

Dead man walking, just another dead man walking
