[intro]
Walking the line
Through life getting close
Feeling its dark approach
Romantic and easy to break
We all have our day
It’s written down and planned
Nothing you can do to change
I can be in a bed
On the street
Or in a tree with the leaves
[chorus]
So when you see the light
A man in black follows behind
Showing old memories
Only time you’ll feel free
Before you snap back
Oooooh
The man in black
Yea
The man in black
Ooooooooh
The man in black
[dark violin solo]
[verse2]
Walking hand with hand
Side by side
Same speed
Talking and reminiscing
The good and bad
The silence is so peaceful
It makes you think
Of what you’ve been missing
All the evil it doesn’t matter
At the end of the day
When your time is done
And you on your way
So say what you came so say
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Yea
Walking the same path as so many others
Just couldn’t be bothered
Ooooooh
Oh
[outro]
So
When the sun goes down
And the silence is loud
Starting the climb
Reaching the top of the mound
And you hear the sound
The tip toe
The shuffle of death
Picking up what others left
Oooooooooh
Oh
Oh
[yell]
OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH
The man in black
Oooooh
The man in black
Oh oh oh
Yeeeeea
The man in black
So when you see the light
A man in black follows behind
Showing old memories
Only time you’ll feel free
Before you snap back
Oooooh
The man in black
