2013 I was driving from the day I was born I can picture it now and how I feel Standing on my grandfather’s knee Holding on to the steering wheel Out on to the desert roads And all the years of in-between I was always going too fast One part blood and one of gasoline Do they come to see a man fall – or to see him fly? Do they come to see a man fall – or to see him fly? The neon chrome in the dazzling sun The money I’ve lost and the money I’ve won All of it here, then all of it gone If I tell you that the world is hard All bleached out bone crushed to sand I’ll tell you that I kept my word And more than that I never gave a damn There are those that come with an easy smile Maybe that is what they’re for I was gone twenty-nine days You only get from me what you pay me for Do they come to see a man fall – or to see him fly? Do they come to see a man fall – or to see him fly? So did you come to see a man fall – or to see him fly? The river is deep, the valley is wide There’s something waiting on the other side Crash the gates of heaven wide I’ll take it now – and have a crack at the angels Published by Attack Attack Music
