Deadman Walking

The Script · Science & Faith [2010]

I hear the angels screaming screaming screaming

Now I'm a dead man walking walking walking

I hear the angels talking talking talking

Now I'm a dead man

(2x)



I see you standing there but you're already gone

I'm holding your hand but you're barely holding on

I'm kissing your lips but it just don't feel the same

Am I dead there now, left living with the blame

Oh I hear the angels talking talking talking

Now I'm a dead man walking walking walking



Already broken, already gone

Already know you're moving on

I'm a breathing, talking

Dead man, walking

Already see it, in your face

Already someone, in my place

I'm a breathing, talking

Dead man, walking



I hear the angels talking talking talking

Now I'm a dead man walking walking walking

I hear the angels talking talking talking

Now I'm a dead man

always the dead man always the man in black

We're in the same room just one million years away

With all these books around but we ain't go two words to say

Am I a dead man now, left living with other mens shame?

I'm...



Already broken, already gone

Already know you're moving on

I'm a breathing, talking

Dead man, walking

Already see it, in your face

Already someone, in my place

I'm a breathing, talking

Dead man, walking



I'm a breathing, talking

Dead man, walking



I hear the angels talking talking talking

Now I'm a dead man walking walking walking

I hear the angels talking talking talking

Now I'm a dead man



Already broken, already gone

Already know you're moving on

I'm a breathing, talking

Dead man, walking

Already see it, in your face

Already someone, in my place

I'm a breathing, talking

Dead man, walking
