Black Bear Saloon - First Against the Wall Lyrics

You come in sit down I'll take your coat and your cash
There's not a lot of turning back at this point now
Don't look at your friends, they don't know the score
I can guess what you're here for
And when I say death, you say that's right
Lonely yeah every single night
And now you're looking so sad
Why

Spend your life just talking to the dead
And they call that living
I can't believe there's things I've done that I might need forgiven
Spend your life just talking to the dead
And they call that living
I've never been a fan of hell but I believe in heaven

So maybe it's a game that we both play
I feed you lies you feed my kids and it feels ok
And if you have doubts don't let them show
Cause when I'm taking your hands I'm taking charge
Don't you worry about how to pay
It's just not the truth and you'll need more

Spend your life just talking to the dead
And you call that living
I can't believe there's things I've done that I might need forgiven
Spend your life just talking to the dead
And you call that living
I've never been a fan of hell but I believe in heaven

I know it keeps you from your life
And I know it stops you moving on
But I also know a day will come
When I'll be forced to stand and face the sun

I should be first against the wall
We both know that's where I belong
I should be first against the wall
I'll get the chance to practice what I preach

Spend your life just talking to the dead
And you call that living
I can't believe there's things I've done that I might need forgiven
Spend your life just talking to the dead
And you call that living
I've never been a fan of hell but I believe in heaven

But it's my life, it's the way I feed
Living off the lost the weak the ones that need
And I'll take what I, what I can from you
Cause it's all that I can do
