If I Wind Up Dead Tomorrow

I am not a special man, and
Neither am I a person of interest
I walk a line with both eyes open
Let the devil take the rest

What I make I spend with one hand
What I take I carry with two
Some day soon, maybe today
I'm on the run, can I lay low with you?

And if I say the wrong thing
If I say the wrong thing
If I say

Did I say the wrong thing
At the right time
Did I
Did I
Did I

And if I say the wrong thing
If I say the wrong thing
If I say

Did I say the wrong thing
What's that sound, oh
Freedom chimes

I've been reading, I've been listening
I've been putting the pieces together
I saw the mechanism in motion
I saw a flash reflect a lever

I could have kept it to myself
I could have looked the other way
There's only one thing I don't know is
Will I live to live another day?

And if I cannot tell you
If I cannot
Tell you that I love you

Don't believe the things they say
You know they'll
Say most anything

If I see you one more time
If I could only
Do that

Would I have the strength to
Leave you,
Or would I only make you
Make you a target

If I wind up dead tomorrow
Probably the CIA did it

Always returned all that I borrowed
A hole in nowhere - my body fills it.

Tell my family, please forgive me
I didn't leave a will they won't they

Let them live in peace, receive me
This trade I make so that Everything can be OK.

Lone wolf, gunman, brainwashed, big chance
Dancing with his silhouette
Primed by magazine, and news cast
His mouth is dry, by his dreams are wet

Tapped by dark-coat, no name, straight talk
Says the things he wants to hear
How 'bout you and I go for a walk
They want to kill the things that you hold dear.

And if you could do one thing
If you could do one thing
Just one thing

If you could do one thing
With this life
Could you
Could you
Could you

If you'd do this one thing
If you'd do this one thing
Little thing

We'll be there to help you do it
And prep you for the
Interviews

If I wind up dead by sunrise
Probably the DOS did it

Footmarks fade, the wind blows, blood dries
A hole in nowhere - my body fills it.

A tree falls and I did not hear it
A breath forms in lump of clay

The future's split, no need to fear it
Everything's gonna be OK.

Been getting funny looks from all the
Faces I don't recognize
Starting to all fade together with
The masks I've used as my disguise.

I learned to use my wits to guide me
Through the night, I shun the day
Can't trust anyone to hide me, just got to
Run run run run run the other way.

Found a place where I could sleep
I watched the lights go down around me
Warehouse, shipyard, alley, backwood
I don't think that they ever found me

Saw a memory, could be mine
It looks just enough like me.
Never thought to think it over
We forget so naturally.

If I wind up dead tomorrow
Probably the CIA did it

Always returned all that I borrowed
A hole in nowhere - my body fills it.

Tell my family, please forgive me
I didn't leave a will they won't they

Let them live in peace, receive me
This trade I make so that Everything can be OK.

I am not a special man, and
Neither am I a person of interest
I walk a line with both eyes open
Let the devil take the rest.
