Man

Sometimes, sometimes you just know, you just know, that's all.

I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord

I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

Oh lord, oh lord.

The best of y'all - remind me of myself when I was younger

When it was hunger that stopped the - from goin' under

And you wonder, why I pat you on your head, smile

Look in your eyes and thank the lord for my child

Meanwhile, somethin' I gotta show you an I hope you can take it

Gonna leave you in the desert, and I hope that you make it

Gotta put you on your ass to see what it does to you

When you stand up and see that I'm just showin' love to you

Other - would put a slug through you, over your ends

Caps I - with are real, but hey

Those are your friends

It's just what you got comin' sometimes you don't know

What you askin' for, did you ask for more?

Should the casket door swing here, it is done

And thought you was a killer, you swore you'd never run

- Died with his gun still up in the holster

It is comin' in the air? Yeah, it's getting' closer

I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord

I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

Oh lord, oh lord.

I see life through many shades of grays and blacks

I could take that an hit 'em with the blazin' tracks

When I make that you fake cats have violent dreams

Takes another dog to be able to hear my silent screams.

The devil got a hold on me and he won't let go

I can feel the lord pullin' but he movin' dead slow

Let 'em know that amidst all this confusion

Some of us may do the winnin'

But we all do the losin' its just who does the choosin'.

Easy goin up or down what have you been provin'?

Just that you were - ground

Bitch seen the bull -, but never spoke on it

An I know that deep down you really don't want it

I woulda traded the chance of bein' the child with a father

Movin' talent and bein' able to survive when it's harder

My balance on the high beams of life, keep my dreams in strife

That's why I hit these mother- streets at night

Come on!

I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord

I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

Oh lord, oh lord.

There's a lotta - that I let slide, cuz it's outta my hands

Lotta - I let ride, but it's not in my plans

An a lot of my mans is not seein' through the fog

Families by the truckloads, fleein' to the morgue

Full moon, arooooo, the howlin', errrrrrr

The growlin', shhhhhh, the prowlin'

Don't know love, can't show love

That means you gonna need more love

Than on old thug, but hold up, roll up

Talkin' out the side of your mouth is

What's gonna is what's gonna let - know

Why you died in your house, why they lied to your spouse

Told her it was suicide, but you an I

Both know the truth will never die

Listen -, if you scared, get a dog, but be prepared, for the mob

Cuz you dead up in the fog, an that's your head by the log

I can smell it in the air, I can tell when it's there

This is hell an we both here

Can you feel it? Tell me yeah

I can feel it comin' in the air tonight, oh lord

I've been waiting for this moment for all my life

Oh lord, oh lord.
