Lyrics
I'm gonna tell you
a story about a man
thought he could get away
with a devious plan
and I told him darling
you better reread that manual
because something ain't right
a little bit of lint in the cotton now
I bought him a pack of cigarettes
just to get it off his mind
and I told him hey
look and see what you find
there's nothing there for you
there's nothing left you here
and If I tell you where to run
will you follow?
and I told you where to go
would you disappear?
It's alright,
it's ok
I won't come running after you
but when you're turning off the light
there's always something behind you
and it ain't no walk in the park, boy
you'll be glad when it's over
so reach for the nearest windowpane
in case you decide
to jump
cut your losses
cut yourself out
cut your losses
can't help you out
I haven't seen him
for quite a long time now
I don't even know
if he's still walking
but I guess he's always been walking
just a dead man walking
so if you seem him around
don't let him catch you staring
don't collide your gaze
you wouldn't want to see any deeper
get yourself
out of that room
unless you're looking for trouble
because you'll be sure to find it
in the shell of a man
a ghost of a dream
a story about a man
thought he could get away
with a devious plan
and I told him darling
you better reread that manual
because something ain't right
a little bit of lint in the cotton now
I bought him a pack of cigarettes
just to get it off his mind
and I told him hey
look and see what you find
there's nothing there for you
there's nothing left you here
and If I tell you where to run
will you follow?
and I told you where to go
would you disappear?
It's alright,
it's ok
I won't come running after you
but when you're turning off the light
there's always something behind you
and it ain't no walk in the park, boy
you'll be glad when it's over
so reach for the nearest windowpane
in case you decide
to jump
cut your losses
cut yourself out
cut your losses
can't help you out
I haven't seen him
for quite a long time now
I don't even know
if he's still walking
but I guess he's always been walking
just a dead man walking
so if you seem him around
don't let him catch you staring
don't collide your gaze
you wouldn't want to see any deeper
get yourself
out of that room
unless you're looking for trouble
because you'll be sure to find it
in the shell of a man
a ghost of a dream
