Adrian Perkins – Dead Man Walkin’ (Eastenders)

Adrian Perkins – Dead Man Walkin’ (Eastenders)

I’ve been here before – this is where my fingers slipped into yours
This is where I trembled – when you touched mine
This is where the seeds we planted long ago
Grew up to tell us we’re too old to know

I’ve been here before – this is where the novelty starts wearing off, wearing off, wearing off
And all the world’s a stage – it’s just that I ain’t on it anymore, anymore
This ain’t Eastenders, this ain’t Eastenders, this ain’t Eastenders, it’s the real thing
What am I supposed to do now?
Crawl down the hole of monotony – monotony – monotony – monotony

The silence is deafening – the phone never rings
Won’t somebody help me cos – I feel like I’m drowning
If I should sink – if I should swim
It doesn’t really matter anymore – Dead man walkin
I’ve been meaning to tell you for oh so long
Baby you got it right ‘n I got it wrong
Now I know what ageism means – you gotta try a little harder
you gotta be a little stronger

I’ve been here before – this is where nothing happens anymore, anymore, anymore,
Someone else’s rage – someone else’s pain
Someone else’s ego – you will believe, you will believe

This ain’t Eastenders, this ain’t Eastenders, this ain’t Eastenders, it’s the real thing
What am I supposed to do now?
Sink to the bottom of obscurity, obscurity, obscurity, obscurity

It’s a foregone conclusion – a fait accompli
It’s all taken care of – you don’t have to worry
If I should lose – If I should win
It doesn’t really matter anymore – Dead man walkin’
