Atmosphere - Millie Fell Off The Fire Escape lyrics

<BR>

<i>[Slug]</i><br>

She dropped the gun and started running down the corridor<br>

She found the exit to get out that department store<br>

She reached full sprint when she hit the parking lot<br>

She didn't see police, not even any rent-it-cops<br>

She ran across the street and went behind the Applebee's<br>

From there she could see those abandoned factories<br>

Figured there's a good place for her to hide away<br>

Knowing she could climb inside through the fire escape<br>

At this point, still felt like a dream<br>

In her head she could still hear the little kid's screams<br>

Leaning up against the dumpster to find some breath<br>

She could hear the sirens, now it's time to step<br>

Running through the alleyway now relentless<br>

Bobbing in between houses, hopping fences<br>

Only two more blocks till the overpass<br>

The adrenaline is rendering a panic attack<br>

Maybe she should go back and explain it all<br>

Maybe the best thing to do now is take that fall<br>

Ain't no way that they won't understand<br>

Daddy's little girl is never gonna hurt again<br>

<br>

She can't believe that she's having this dilemma<br>

Tryna find a reason that she shouldn't go surrender<br>

She's a kid and a first time offender<br>

Plus he had it coming, hell it's colder in December<br>

Decided she would make it to the vacant warehouse<br>

From there she could try to get her head to clear out<br>

She needs a minute to sit and think<br>

Some time to reflect on these events and let 'em sink<br>

There's the building, it's empty she hopes to God<br>

The fire escape is on the back near the loading dock<br>

The next chapter to the happy ever after<br>

Wrapped her little fingers round the cold metal ladder<br>

Started climbing, that's when she heard the officer<br>

"Millie turn yourself in now girl, come down from there"<br>

She tried to look over her shoulder<br>

Lost balance, fell four stories, it was over<br>

<BR><BR>
