Dead Leg
Neil Finn/Sharon Finn/Sean Donnelly

That big man stumbles
One shot to the leg, left him for dead
That distant rumble
Welcome back to Earth, it's a difficult birth
Next time so humble
And now you understand the body of man

You can cover your tracks
But you can't turn back
And you went too far
You got a dead leg
And you got no limit
On your telephone plan
Tell all your friends
You got a dead leg

If I make contact
It wonâ't matter love if you're acting tough
So close to impact
Shock, or is it hurt, what comes first
When I stop breathing
Before a cry is heard, you know it's serious

You can cover your tracks
But you can't turn back
You went too far
You got a dead leg
And you got no limit
On your telephone plan
Tell all your friends
You got a dead leg

Sat round the table
The story comes to life, its so beautiful
A crimson halo
That hangs around your heart looking dangerous
Looking dangerous
Gaze upon us, keep us honest

You can cover your tracks
But you can't turn back
You went too far
You got a dead leg
And you got no limit
On your telephone plan
Tell all your friends
You got a dead leg
