Album: The Great Divide
I met a man in New Orleans wore a half suit with dark blue jeans
Kicked his heels together winked at me real nice
I saw him from a mile away
But in my state of mind I let him make his play
"Hey boy, have you seen the other side?"
Yeah, in this man I saw the Devil's hand so I looked at him man to man
And said, "This time, it's gonna be a fight."
I do not have to justify
The way I live my life
I do not have to justify
The reason I'm alive
I saw her from across the room with Diamond hands
She's Heaven's jewel
Dropped two aces smiled and threw my cards back
Yeah, I've been that man
Who lives deceit
Surrounds himself with worldly things
So let me tell you a story
Let me feed it to you
We flied around like we were Superman
Live in another trance
A different way to dance
With dark romance
You get another chance to do that dirty dance
without consequence
I do not have to justify
The way I live my life
I do not have to justify
The reason I'm alive
Let me change the timbre of this section
Add a little booze to the ice
I guess you've probably noticed
I've been living a double life
So fly around like you were Superman
Given another chance
A different way to dance
With true romance
You get another chance to tell you dirty, darkest secrets
We flied around like we were Superman
Live in another trance
A different way to dance
With dark romance
You get another chance to do that dirty dance
without consequence
I do not have to justify
The way I live my life
I do not have to justify
The reason I'm alive
No more
It's just not me
Not me
I'm just like you
