Theres a pale horse coming And Im going to ride it Ill rise in the morning My fate decided Im a dead man walking Im a dead man walking In st james parish I was born and christened Ive got my story mister Aint no need for you to listen Its just a dead man talking Once I had a job I had a a girl Between our dreams and actions lies this world In the deep forest their blood and tears rushed over me All I could feel was the drugs and the shotgun And my fear up inside of me Like a dead man talkin neath the summer sky my eyes went black Sister I wont ask for forgiveness My sins are all I have Now the clouds above my prisonmove slowly across the sky Theres a new day Coming and my dreams are full to-night
