There's a pale horse comin'
And I'm gonna ride it
I'm a dead man walkin'
I'm a dead man walkin'
In Saint James Parish
I was born and Christened
For you to listen
It's just a dead man talkin'
Once I had a job, I had a girl
But between our dreams
And action lie this world
Well, in the deep forest
Their blood and tears rushed over me
And my fear up inside me
Like a dead man talkin'
Beneath the summer sky
My eyes went black
Sister, I won't ask for forgiveness
My sins are all I have
Tonight the clouds above my prison
Move slowly 'cross the sky
And my dreams are full tonight
