They know who I am say their eyes
Yes, it's me! Surprise!
So what the hell gave me away?
Is it the smile or the bloody face?
Charges dropped at one’s demise
But he hadn’t finished with his lies
He hadn’t quite faded away
Baptism in blood on his funeral day
Screw that parasympathetic delay
Not much separates you from him - dead man
Out on a limb, out of a limb - dead man
It’s a matter of sink or swim - dead man
Drowning - dead man
Your ascendant stock won't defy gravity
Trading all your life to prevent apogee
But life in the hive is pre-ca-ri-ous
One wrong turn and you’ve missed the bus!
Relish the credit where it is due
Encumbered by debits, as faults accrue
Default, deface, de-feet
Your upward projectory has gone askew
I’ll reduce your stock into a stew
Not much separates you from him - dead man
Out on a limb, out of a limb - dead man
It’s a matter of sink or swim - dead man
Drowning - dead man
The elevator opens and I turn to walk out
He grabs my arm and says, “We’re going back down.
To the cell with the bolted chair.
You know, I’ve seen you do your finest work in there.”
I say, “No. I’ve got places to go, people to see
And then I’m going home for a shower
And to get drunk in my favourite chair.”
He shoots me and pulls me in by my hair
And he says:
The halo’s slipped, your plunge renowned
Now you wear a tarnished crown
Furrowed brow, the worried frown
Come on in we’re heading down!
Spider descends upon a thread
Stricken fly is filled with dread
Let’s keep that smile upside down.
Icarus and Lucifer having nothing on you
The depths you’ll go to…
Not much separates you from him - dead man
Out on a limb, out of a limb - dead man
It’s a matter of sink or swim - dead man
Drowniiiiiiing - dead man
