Trouble has always ever managed to find me   I do my best but in the end I usually get away   That's how it's always been, quite comfortable in fact   And now at last you've caught me and it's time to finally pay      Is it the dead man walking   Who feels the most alive?      And you're taking it to me, yeah, you sent a shock right through me   To begin is a lifetime, my partner in crime   And you're taking it to me, you sent a shock right through me   To begin is a lifetime, my partner in crime      Your lead dog is off the leash and he has treed me   Not the finest hiding place I see in retrospect   The only thing to possibly have freed me   Was the mercy that I squandered, no mercy I expect      Is it the dead man walking   Who feels the most alive?      And you're taking it to me, yeah, you sent a shock right through me   To begin is a lifetime, my partner in crime   Hey you're taking it to me, you sent a shock right through me   To begin is a lifetime, my partner in crime      Is it the dead man walking   Who feels the most alive?      And you're taking it to me, yeah, you sent a shock right through me   To begin is a lifetime, my partner in crime   And you're taking it to me, yeah, you sent a shock right through me   To begin is a lifetime, my partner in crime   And you're taking it to me, you sent a shock right through me   To begin is a lifetime, my partner in crime
