Intro (4x) The sun is sinking and I'm still dragging this bag of bones Like a homesick beggar with a rockstar swagger and a heart of stone My feet are on the riverbed My hands are far from innocent Have mercy on my soul Where did I go wrong? I lost my head. (keep playing the chord for 4 bars) I want to dance on fire and be born again I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead Intro (2x) Well everything changes and the colors start fading and the stars go dim And the clock keeps ticking while the rattlesnake's shaking as it sheds its skin Kill your heart and never take a chance Lock it up inside a picket fence The illusions of control Where did I go wrong? I lost my head. (keep playing the chord for 4 bars) I want to dance on fire and be born again I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead Interlude (do a little whooing over it) Where did I go wrong? I lost my head. I want to dance on fire and be born again Where did I go wrong? I lost my head. (keep playing the chord for 4 bars) I want to dance on fire and be born again I can hear the voice that's waking up the dead Intro (final chord)
