What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
He swivels his head, tears his eyes from the screen
2
As his past puts him back in Atlantic city
3
There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
4
Is it all just human disguise as I walk down the aisle?
5
And I'm gone gone gone
6
(Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality)
7
Now I'm older than movies
8
(Deadens my brain falling up through the years)
9
Let me dance away
10
(Till I swivel back round, then I fly fly fly)
11
Now I'm wiser than dreams
12
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone)
13
Let me fly fly fly
14
(Spinning slack through reality)
15
While I'm touching tomorrow
16
(Deadens my brain falling up through the years)
17
And I know who's there
18
(Till I swivel back round, then I fly fly fly)
19
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone)
20
When silhouettes fall
21
(Spinning slack through reality)
22
And I'm gone like I'm dancing on angels
23
And I'm gone through the crack in the past
24
Like a dead man walking
25
Like a dead man walking
26
Three old men dancing under the lamplight
27
Shaking their sex and their bones and the boys that we were
28
An alien nation in therapy, sliding naked and new
29
Like a bad tempered child on a rain slicked street
30
And I'm gone gone gone
31
(Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality)
32
Now I'm older than movies
33
(Deadens my brain falling up through the years)
34
Let me dance away
35
(Till I swivel back round, then I fly fly fly)
36
Now I'm wiser than dreams
37
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone)
38
Let me fly fly fly
39
(Spinning slack through reality)
40
While I'm touching tomorrow
41
(Deadens my brain falling up through the years)
42
And I know who's there
43
(Till I swivel back round, then I fly fly fly)
44
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone)
45
When silhouettes fall
46
(Spinning slack through reality)
47
And I'm gone
48
(Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality)
49
(Deadens my brain falling up through the years)
50
(Till I swivel back round, then I fly fly fly)
51
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone)
52
(Spinning slack through reality)
53
(Deadens my brain falling up through the years)
54
(Till I swivel back round, then I fly fly fly)
55
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone)
56
(Spinning slack through reality)
57
And I'm gone like I'm dancing on angels
58
And I'm gone through the crack in the past
59
Like a dead man walking
60
Like a dead man walking
61
Like a dead man
62
Like a dead man walking
63
And I'm gone gone gone
64
(Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality)
65
(Deadens my brain falling up through the years)
66
Let me dance dance dance
67
(Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly)
68
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone)
69
And I'm gone gone gone
70
(Spinning slack through reality)
71
(Deadens my brain falling up through the years)
72
(Till I swivel back round then I fly fly fly)
73
Let me dance, dance, dance
74
(Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone)
75
(Spinning slack through reality)
76
And I'm gone like I'm dancing on angels
77
And I'm gone through the crack in the past
78
And I'm gone like I'm dancing on angels
79
And I'm gone through the crack in the past
80
Like a dead man walking
81
Like a dead man walking
82
Like a dead man
