lyrics

I have seen the angels; they are rushing towards me, and my body quakes and trembles in the night.
And I cannot sit up in bed; I can barely raise my head, but you're joking if you think I'll call the fight.

Because we're all on death row, and there is no court of appeals, so the only way out it is the chair.
So we fight like hell to keep our cell no matter how small, and try to pretend that it's normal living here.

And we take a little whiskey for the boredom and the pain.
Take a little to boost the pride we can retain.
One more shot for friendship that keeps us all alive,
and scatter all our ashes in the mountains when we die.

Well I've tried all the religions, and I've found some comfort there, but I'd rather numb my senses with some friends.
Now at the barrel of a gun I find I finally do believe in something, but it don't matter in the end.

When the sun kisses the mountains I'll be gone.
The valley still in darkness before the dawn.
When you think of me, remember all the fun.
There'll be plenty of time for crying about yourself before you're done.

Oh I have seen the angels; they are rushing towards me. Their smiles bright; their arms are open wide.
And I haven't played a winning hand, but I've done the best that a man can, so I'll be waiting on the other side.
