in the middle of a gunfight
in the center of a restaurant
they say come with your arms raised high
well they're never gonna get me
like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your faith in me
your life will never be the same
on your mother's eyes say a prayer
say a prayer
-chorus:
now
but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't
well i can
too much too late
or just not enough of this
pain in my heart for your dying wish
i'll kiss your lips again
:chorus-
they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
my cellmate's a killer
they make me do pushups in drag
but nobody cares if you're losing yourself
am i losing myself?
and well i miss my mom
will they give me the chair?
or lethal injection?
or swing from a rope if you dare
oh nobody knows all the trouble i seen
-chorus-
to your room
what they ask of you
they make you want to see(?)
how long
well i dont remember
i remember
do you have the keys to the hotel?
life is but a dream for the dead
and well i can't go down by myself
but i'll go down with my friends
take it like a man
in the center of a restaurant
they say come with your arms raised high
well they're never gonna get me
like a bullet through a flock of doves
to wage this war against your faith in me
your life will never be the same
on your mother's eyes say a prayer
say a prayer
-chorus:
now
but i can't
and i don't know
how we're just two men as god had made us
well i can't
well i can
too much too late
or just not enough of this
pain in my heart for your dying wish
i'll kiss your lips again
:chorus-
they all cheat at cards and the checkers are lost
my cellmate's a killer
they make me do pushups in drag
but nobody cares if you're losing yourself
am i losing myself?
and well i miss my mom
will they give me the chair?
or lethal injection?
or swing from a rope if you dare
oh nobody knows all the trouble i seen
-chorus-
to your room
what they ask of you
they make you want to see(?)
how long
well i dont remember
i remember
do you have the keys to the hotel?
life is but a dream for the dead
and well i can't go down by myself
but i'll go down with my friends
take it like a man

This is a new form of rock music -- extra spicy.
It's not like common emo song. It has dignity, I think.
Tempo and raging din.
Gerard is genius.
Even though . . . I don't like this 'gay idea'.
And I think the guitar sound will be better in heavier distortion.
Heil Gerard Arthur!!
well ppl tht hate mcr r like...retarded
i think tht they shud officially die. just fall down a cliff onto a billion shards of broken sea glass. And the waves crash over their faces as they desperatley try to breathe ovr and ovr but nvr succeed. nd then they end up drowning and red water flows thruout the rest of the ocean. Then sharks come and eat their heads, giv them to me, and then i stick them in jars of em-bombing fluid nd stic them on my desk to remind me of all the hatrs so tht i will nvr EVR giv up on tellin them 2 GO FUCKIN KILL THEM SELVES.

After killing a bunch of people in an attempt to bring his love back to life, he is caught and ends up in prison. the rest of the song is just about the lame rapeness of prison.. and how upset he is about prison clothing.. its so drag..
It's about being gay. Duhhhh.
Think about it.
just wanted to add.
