Lyrics

Dead Men Tell No Tales

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

This is it!

Breaking up or breaking through,

Breaking something´s all we ever do,

Shoot straight, travel far,

Stone crazy´s all we ever are,

But I don´t care for lies,

And I won´t tell you twice,

Because when all else fails,

Dead Men Tell No Tales

Shooting up away and back,

A bit of guts is all that you lack,

Far behind the stable door,

I know you´ve met that horse before,

But I don´t care for sky,

And this sure ain´t no lie,

At the end of all the tracks and trails,

Dead Men Tell No Tales

You used to be my friend,

But that friendship´s coming to an end,

My meaning must be clear,

You know pity is all that you hear,

But if you´re doing smack,

You won´t be coming back,

I ain´t the one to make your bail,

Dead Men Tell No Tales
