Janis Ian Dead men Walking Lyrics:
Who'll die by fire?
Who will seek the flame?
Whose heart's desire,
Has the most to gain?
Who will beg for mercy?
Who will bow their head?
Who will suffer gladly?
Who will welcome death?

Who'll play the hero?
Who will turn and run?
Who'll always follow,
Someone else's drum?
Who will die of beauty?
Who will die of hope?
Who will tell it truly?
Who will leave it cloaked?

Dead men walkin' in the world tonight.
Dead men talkin' in my ear.
I am afraid to ask too much,
Then disappear when they are near.

Who'll call me lover?
Who will call me friend?
Who'll be my brother?
Who will just pretend?
Who will I surrender?
Who will I defend?

Will I be remembered?
Will I rise again?

Dead men walkin' in the world tonight.
Dead men talkin' in my ear.
I am afraid to ask too much,
Then disappear when they are near.

Carve my name upon your heart.
Let it leave a lasting scar.
A shooting star.

Dead men walkin' in the world tonight.
Dead men talkin' in my ear.
I am afraid to ask too much,
Then disappear.

Dead men walkin' in the world tonight.
Dead men talkin' in my ear.
I am afraid to ask too much,
When they are near.

Dead men walkin' in the world tonight.
Dead men talkin' in my ear.
I am afraid to ask too much.
