about
This is the third of three singles produced by Corrado Rustici. He and I worked together on Elisa Toffoli's "Pipes & Flowers", and I am so happy we got to work together on these. He is Globally about as amazing as they come in terms of talent, ability and a spiritual sense of hearing what the song desires. Originally this song was written about my varied dances with fate, dances with death and honor, with just my acoustic guitar and me, as usual. It is awesome to see where an artist like Corrado can take just that much. thank you. Love and Gratitude. -BDF
lyrics
At 27 stories tall
intoxicated, blindfolded to all
I dance my routine like a doll
and only think of falling if I fall
testing death won’t make a man
I live the only way I can
if I decide I'm in a dead man’s shoes
then I’ve got nothing to lose
you can do anything you choose
when you’ve got nothing to lose
I carelessly light a cigarette
this roof is gasoline and sweat
my friend, it hasn’t burned me yet
until it does I cannot have regret
tempting fate won’t make a man
I live the only way I can
if I decide I'm in a dead man’s shoes
then I’ve got nothing to lose
you can do anything you choose
when you’ve got nothing to lose
And this is where I find my love,
she fits me perfectly, she fits me perfectly,
just like a glove,
but I won't fear this devilish dove
but she's hot from hell, not heaven above
to be a man is hard, I try
sometimes I hide inside and cry
and one day I might even fly
but a man worthy of honor the muses forbid to die
testing death won’t make a man
I live the only way I can
if I decide I'm in a dead man’s shoes
then I’ve got nothing to lose
you can do anything you choose
when you’ve got nothing to lose
