Rock''roll erased my memory,
I once had a book of many,
Like a tidal wave come crashing down.
Looking on the dark side bright eyes,
Cover up your ears from my cries,
I'd like to settle in but I won't back down.
(chorus)
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun,
Baby, I just can't slow down.
There's a killer in the sea, it's really you and me.
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down.
Reckoning is dead and buried,
Silent like a cemetery,
In a shallow grave you hit the ground.
Looking at the bright side, black eyes,
Cover up my ears from your cries,
I'd like to let you win but I won't back down.
(chorus)
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun,
Baby, I just can't slow down.
There's a killer in the sea, it's really you and me.
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down.
I will drink to this, and let this song begin with you.
In this emptiness, on the outside of it all.
(chorus)
Like a devil on the run, or a sympathetic gun,
Baby, I just can't slow down.
There's a killer in the sea, it's really you and me.
Swear that I can see the ground, even when the lights are down.
