Powderfinger Lyrics

"Ballad Of A Dead Man" lyrics



Run little rabbit, can't break the habit for none
Shapes like a rocket and shoots like a pocket gun
Every mothers son has spent a lifetime on the run One by one and two by two
Our hearts beat a rhythm true
Wave goodbye now baby blue
You're exploding like a star into the gloomI thought I could shut you in
You said "Baby let me out"
I thought that I could pick you up and roll you like a diceThere's hitchhikers thumbing on the verge of the lonesome highway
But we just roll on by with the top down, the sun's out
I'm so glad when you came along you happened to be going my way
The wheels roll round and roundOne by one and two by two
Our hearts beat a rhythm true
Wave goodbye now baby now baby blue
You're exploding like a star into the roomI thought I could shut you in
You said "Come on pull me out"
I thought that I could pick you up and roll you like a dice
When I'm close to you, here they come
They're coming one by one coming two by two
They're coming one by one coming two by twoIf I ever let you down – don't turn me away
I never meant to spin you round
If anybody comes to do you harm or pin you down – I'll take your place
