Bruce Springsteen Last To Die Lyrics

Last To Die Lyrics

We took the highway till the road went black

We marked Truth Or
Consequences on our map*

A voice drifted up from the radio

We saw
the voice from long ago



Who'll be the last to die for a
mistake

The last to die for a mistake

Whose blood will spill, whose
heart will break

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake



The
kids asleep in the backseat

We're just countin' the miles you and me

We don't measure the blood we've drawn anymore

We just stack the bodies
outside the door



Who'll be the last to die for a mistake

The
last to die for a mistake

Whose blood will spill, whose heart will
break

Who'll be the last to die for a mistake



The wise men
were all fools

What to do



The sun sets in flames as the city
burns

Another day gone down as the night turns

And I hold you here
in my heart

As things fall apart



A downtown window flushed
with light

Faces of the dead at five (faces of the dead at five)

A
martyr's silent eyes

Petition the drivers as we pass by



Who'll be the last to die for a mistake

The last to die for a
mistake

Whose blood will spill, whose heart will break

Who'll be
the last to die



Who'll be the last to die for a mistake

The
last to die for a mistake

Darlin' your tyrants and kings form the same
fate

Strung up at your city gates

And you're the last to die for a
mistake
