Standing on the beach, with a gun in my hand Staring at the sky, staring at the sand Staring down the barrel at the other on the ground I see his open mouth but I hear no sound I'm alive, I'm dead I'm a stranger killing another I can turn and walk away or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky, staring at the sun Whichever I choose it amounts to the same Absolutely nothing I'm alive, I'm dead I'm a stranger killing another ♪ I feel the silver jump smooth in my hand Staring at the sea, staring at the sand Staring at myself reflected in the eyes Of the dead man on the beach I'm alive, I'm dead I'm the stranger killing another
