[Verse 1]
In the middle of a gun fight
In the center of a restaurant
They say "Come with your arms raised high!"
Well, they're never going to 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 k**er, 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
Ah, 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
[Bridge]
To your room
What they ask of you
Will make you want to say, "So long..."
Well, I don't remember, why remember you
(Do you have the keys to the hotel)
(Cause I'm gonna string this motherf**er on fire! FIRE)
[Outro]
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
Now now now now (I can't explain)
Now now now (I can't complain)
Now now, yeah!
