Lyrics
He still dreams of mayhem
After all these years
Thought he's no longer called upon
To clear a path or bend an arm
He walks tall before his friends
He used to ride the streets
Like a silent prince
Trigger fingers and trigger head
He was a man of steel
He had the whole world
In his hands
Now it's dial a prayer
Dial a life
Dial a whiskey
Dial a wife
You'll see him around
And you'll see him down
This dead end bar
In this dead end town
Self love still saves him
In the mirror
His sags don't seem so bad
When lit by lamp
His smile is quite debonair
For one so lost
Now he haunts the streets
In the dead of night
The pain somewhere down deep inside
He can't be reached
It can never
Be relieved
Now it's dial a prayer
Dial a life
Dial a whiskey
Dial a wife
You'll see him around
And you'll see him down
This dead end bar
In this dead end town
And then the dawn arises
And he turns to dust
And his flower fades
With the rising sun
He's just one
Of many
His grace
Has been run
Now it's dial a prayer
Dial a life
Dial a whiskey
Dial a wife
You'll see him around
And you'll see him down
This dead end bar
In this dead end town
Dial a prayer
Dial a life
Dial a whiskey
Dial a wife
You'll see him around
And you'll see him down
This dead end bar
In this dead end town
