Miguel has set up home
with a woman half my age
a half-wit in a leotard
stands on my stage
The standards have fallen
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
some walk like they own the place
whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can
to walk like a man
but if you don't come near
you've got to fly like an eagle
prowl like a lion in Africa
leap like a salmon home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk like a panther tonight
The old home town just looks the same
like a derelict man who has died out of shame
like a jumble sale left out in the rain
it's not good
it's not right
The standards have fallen
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
some walk like they own the place
whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can
to walk like a man
but if you don't come near
you've got to fly like an eagle
prowl like a lion in Africa
leap like a salmon home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk like a panther tonight
Where did you leave your self respect
you like look like a reptile
your house is a wreck
your existence an insult
and stains that are suspect
cover your clothes
The standards have fallen
my value has dropped
but don't shed a tear
some walk like they own the place
whilst others creep in fear
Try if you can
to walk like a man
but if you don't come near
you've got to fly like an eagle
prowl like a lion in Africa
leap like a salmon home from the sea
to keep up with me
you've got to walk like a panther tonight
walk like a panther tonight
to keep up with me you've got to walk like a panther...I walk through fire, i feel no pain
fields of war which fuel my veins
in the end, son, i was once like you
cut me child, you'll see i bleed
scars of black which help me see
in the end, son, i was once like you
life, birth, blood, doom
the hole in the ground is comin' round soon
life birth blood doom
the hole in the ground is comin' round, comin' round soon
Fields of death, the rotted womb
hates we chase of a blessed doom
in the end, son, i was once like you
The ashes that fly, the skin which burns
Kill all you can, refuse to learn
in the end, son, i was once like you
life, birth, blood, doom
the hole in the ground is comin' round soon
life birth blood doom
the hole in the ground is comin' round, comin' round soon
life, birth, blood, doom
the hole in the ground is comin' round soon
life birth blood doom
the hole in the ground is comin' round, comin' round soon
