The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I run into a friend of mine
Ended up that he was just a stranger
I said hello as he passed me by
But then he turned and put a gun to my head
He said, "My friend, I'm going to rob you blind"
I said, "You must be down on your luck
I'm out of money and I'm all out of time"
He pulled the trigger and I fell to my knees
My spirit left and then my body went cold
I'm looking down upon the lights of the city
I feel alive, but I'm dead and gone
Ain't no more walking down the side of the road
Ain't no more sleeping on the edge of a frown
Ain't no more favors from someone I don't know
'Cause there ain't nobody hears me, nobody's around
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Hallelujah, it's just a song
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Oh, hallelujah it's just a song
So tell me now if your singing can bring me
Another day with my feet on the ground
I miss living and living misses me
I miss it so much that I'm holding me down
For all the things that I never could change
For all the reasons that I never understood and why
I feel alone, baby,
I'm dead and gone, baby
And something's wrong, 'cause you know I still feel alive
My train is rolling down the line and I'm waiting till it bring me to dream
Of holding you up in my eyes
Oh feel my love, honey from up above, honey
Oh, don't give up on me, 'cause I'm coming down
I'm not a one-nighter, I'm not a flat liner
I've everything in between the harmony singing loud
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Hallelujah, it's just a song
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Oh, hallelujah it's just a song
The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I run into a friend of mine
