lyrics

Hollow is as hollow does
I've had a good run for lack of beating heart
But I won't live long enough to watch it all fall apart
Such an eloquent end to an aggressively, mediocre tale of woe
Dead man walking on a Sunday Morning, sink right through the floor

Just the right kinda night
Man, do I feel alive

Getting so high, feeling so low
No pride to hide, no future to show
Been getting so high, and I'm feeling so low
We're wreaking havoc on this town

Keep your hands, right where I see them

Voted most likely to succeed in destroying myself
Left alone to gather dust high up on the shelf
Lost sight so it's out of mind, I’m stuck here all alone
Glue set beneath my heels, where I stand I'll call home

Lost in all of the lights
Man, what a good day to die

Getting so high. feeling so low
No pride to hide, no future to show

Been getting so high, and I'm feeling so low
We’re wreaking havoc on this town

Dead man walking, on a Sunday morning
Long live The King
King of the gutter
Long live The King
