Running down to the dead man saloon
Drinks are wild in the afternoon
Let her cool down so you can sleep tonight
Holding dear to the lifeless champagne
She has left you with no sustain
You are slowing down so you can be free again

Tripping out by yourself on the great plains
Go and catch all the falling airplanes
Gonna tear that stadium down, to the ground
Forever asleep, my soul will keep

No one hears from the star-crossed dry room
Gotta run cannot wait I'll die soon
Gonna turn my amplifier on, like a bell
Calms me down, the guitar sound

Running down to the dead man saloon
Drinks are wild in the afternoon
Let her cool down so you can sleep tonight
Holding dear to the lifeless champagne
She has left you with no sustain
You are slowing down so you can be free again
I am afraid of the things you do to me...

Gonna stand on a hill of sapphire
Signing clever he who writes with black fire
Gonna turn that orchestra on, like a bell
Calms me down, that cello sound

Running down to the dead man saloon
Drinks are wild in the afternoon
Let her cool down so you can sleep tonight
Holding dear to the lifeless champagne
She has left you with no sustain
You are slowing down so you can be free again
