Kaiser Chiefs - Dead or in Serious Trouble Lyrics

His photograph was taken in 1980
In New York on a subway train
He emerges days later
The sun in his eyes
And its started all over again
Its spread through the city like a hand made virus
And catches a glimpse of their eyes
The beggars and bangers and fly boys and hookers
All haggled together inside

He's either dead or in serious trouble
He's either dead or in serious trouble

Trimly reminded and partially blinded
Surviving on minimum sleep
The scars down his face
And a stone in the place
Where his heart would previously beat
Travelling even faster in the wake of disaster
And preaching an... ??? bleak
Escaping and hiding and simply survivng
Lay down in a pool next to me

He's either dead or in serious trouble
He's either dead or in serious trouble

His photograph was taken in 1980
In New York on a subway train
They... ???
Started all over again

He's either dead or in serious trouble
He's either dead or in serious trouble
He's either dead or in serious trouble
He's either dead or in serious trouble
He's either dead or in serious trouble
He's either dead or in serious trouble
