[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!
