Riding into a false sunset.

Riding into a false sunset.

get quick with the metal

pull the trigger, pull the trigger

get hasty with the pedal

all the way to the floor

run away from the scene

another day another dollar

running games in his mind

another kid another failure.

get a minion to follow

pull the trigger, pull the trigger

get nervous with the metal

shoot the teller and his wife

run away from the chaos

another day another dollar

two dumb kids who

just want to pop their collars.

how can you smell the roses

when you cant even stop?

how can you love

when all you know is bloodlust?

get fast on the draw

pull the trigger, pull it now

get faster with the numbers

some way, somehow

run away from yesterday

to a darker tomorrow

are they in need of recharging?

those souls that you borrowed?

get a grip on the system

push the button, push the button

get an alibi or two

maybe three for good measure

run away from the lights

no chance, not now

are you happy with the power

that you say you have found?

how can you smell the roses

when all you smell is blood?

how can you see the stars

when you never look up?
