And I don't know why you're dying
Long before your time has come
And most of their family and friends alive, doing time
I've stared straight into the sun
Long before your time has come
I've stared straight into the sun
But he doesn't know my name or who I am
I've been wandering sideways
Yeah, I've been wandering sideways
And one threatened me long ago when I saw him
One got a little too depressed and he went and jumped the gun
Long before your time has come
And I've stared straight into the sun
Long before your time has come
Long before your time has come
And I'm not surprised, hey
I've seen 50,000 names all engraved on a stone
Still, I don't know why you're dying
Now one took some bullets in the chest in a deal gone wrong
Your time has come, hey
Yeah, I've been wandering sideways
I've been wandering sideways
One got shot right in the face and he somehow survived
Melt in the bright light of day
Still I don't know why you're dying
I've stared straight into the sun
Most of them, met an early grave
And I don't know why you're dying
And one laid to rest in a field under starlings and crows, hey
Your time has come
All of them left brothers and sisters and mothers behind
I've been wandering sideways
I've stared straight into the sun
Still, I don't know why you're dying
Years before I was born
Long before your time has come
Long before your time has come
