Now one fell asleep in the street and he never woke up And now one died in pieces in his bed with a mouth full of bones And one threatened me long ago, I saw him melt in the bright light of day
And one laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows
I´ve been wandering sideways I´ve stared straight into the sun Still I don´t know why you´re dying Long before your time has come Your time has come
Now one took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong And one got a little too depressed and he went and jumped the gun One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived But he doesn´t know my name or who I am and I´m not surprised
I´ve been wandering sideways I´ve stared straight into the sun Still I don´t know why you´re dying Long before your time has come
I´ve been wandering sideways I´ve stared straight into the sun Still I don´t know why you´re dying Long before your time has come
I´ve seen 50,000 names all engraved on a stone Most of them met an early grave years before I was born. All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind Most of their family and friends are still alive and doing time.
I´ve been wandering sideways I´ve stared straight into the sun And I don´t know why you´re dying Long before your time has come
I´ve been wandering sideways I´ve stared straight into the sun And I don´t know why you´re dying Long before your time has come Long before your time has come Long before your time has come And your time has come
