THE WALKABOUTS - GLAD NATION'S DEATH SONG lyrics

rate me

These are the ghosts that I half believed

Guns & liquor & the carnival freak

But then one day the whole world shook

And I got arrested for stealin' a look

And the glad nation's death song sings X2

And I wanna hear you sing

And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing

Well they dragged me down to the deptor's jail

Where no one cried 'cause the drinks were free

And there I met you, you were passin' the hat

Sayin' give to the memory of a long gone dream

And the glad nation's death song sings X2

And I wanna hear you sing

And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing

This is the sound of one hand clappin'

This is the sound of one man laughin'

Sayin' we are lucky, yeah lucky is us

'Cause behind these bars we've been stuck

And the glad nation's death song sings X4

And I wanna hear you sing

And I wanna hear you . . . . hear you sing
