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.

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 gonna 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, yeah

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, yeah

Too much, too late

Or just not enough of this

Pain in my heart for your dying wish

I'll kiss your lips again

They all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost

My cellmate's a killer

They make me do pushups 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

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, yeah

Too much, too late

Or just not enough of this

Pain in my heart for your dying wish

I'll kiss your lips again

To your room

What they ask of you

Will make you want to say so long

But I don't remember

Why remember you?

Do you have the keys to the hotel?

'Cause I'm gonna string this motherfucker on fire! Fire!

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, yeah!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, haha
