lyrics

Found with your arms folded cross your chest
Someone left you like that someone left you like that
For a long time now your life has been a mess
No one made it like that no one made it like that
You made the choice to dance with the devil on your own
Not saying it was wrong not saying it was wrong

You went out with a whimper not a bang
Not the way you would choose not the way you would choose
You always loved old Thunders when he sang
I was born just to lose I was born just to lose
You made the choice to dance with the devil on your own
Not saying it was wrong not saying it was wrong

But my friend you were mistaken when you thought you were alone
There’s plenty folks around still miss you now you’re gone

Long time ago you stepped off of the cliff
And you flew like a bird yeah you flew like a bird
Now people wonder why and say what if
They had listened and heard they had listened and heard
You made the choice to dance with the devil on your own
Not saying it was wrong
But I’m sorry that you’re gone

The people that were with you when you died
Wonder if they were friends wonder if they were friends
I hope that you had someone by your side
When you came to an end when you came to your end
You made the choice to dance with the devil on your own
And now you’re gone

So I’ll raise a glass won’t cry for you again
You would want it that way you would want it that way
Hope you finally found some peace my friend
We’ll meet again one of these days meet again one of these days
‘cause I made that choice to dance with the devil on my own

I get on with my days
In a permanent haze
People think it’s a phase
But my madness is growing…

in the company of his music, leaving the city with a bad car and a good pair of boots, a few sweet cigarettes and with the right pair of eyes, you see the sunlight on the mountains, and you think they are the same as someone else around for the world sees in his day of freedom TIASO
