Dead Man Walking - Lyrics - Elin Ruth Sigvardsson

I stood up at central station Waiting for my man I went across this *** nation just to hold his hand I waited there for hours but he didn't show up So I called him on the phone and he wouldn't pick up And I don't know what this fuzz is about I see dead man walking Tonight So I jumped into a cab and I threw my lucky chain(?) I was thinking about madness I was thinking about sin We stopped outside his house and I climbed up on to the roof I looked down through the window and realized that he had moved And he don't know what he's dealing with here I see dead man walking Somewhere And I landed on the front porch I knocked on the door A lady called Marie said "He don't live here anymore" Oh do you know by any chance I said where to find him 'Cause my heart seems to beat right through my skin And I don't know why he's hiding from me I see dead man walking Marie So I stole a bike in the Garden I headed for the street And I left my suitcase for them So I thought I'd call it quits I went down to the airport and I boarded the next flight I figured I could be in Spain by night I don't know why he's doing it really I see dead man walking From me I fell asleep over New York And I woke up in Madrid The only man I long for Is so quiet and well-hid I paid the taxi driver way too much to go down town When I got to his apartment he was gone He don't know that he's driving me insane I see dead man walking from Spain And down near the harbour My hunger got appeased But I'm still a starver When it comes to being pleased And as the ship came in I sneaked aboard on the left side I didn't have no money or no pride And I don't know why he keeps evading me I see dead man walking By sea A sense of being seasick Made me dizzier than before I grabbed a yellow mop and As we got into the shore A man back in Madrid said you'd spent time in Marrakech And I think I just laid eyes on your mistress And I don't know how the two of you dared I see dead woman walking right there I went up to the beach house It had a lovely view And as a further insult I saw not just one kid but two And they just stared me and said "dad who's that lady?" I've never seen her in my life trust me And I want this stranger out of my house What's the dead man talking about? So I sat down in the kitchen I told him 'bout the pain I spoke of how I missed him And he said "your insane!" I'm calling the police because you need to go home They're gonna take you back to where you came from But that was something that he shouldn't have said Now the dead man walking Is dead
