Black Diamond Bay - I Dreamt We Were Bank Robbers lyrics

rate me

Sun bleaches the street I shade my eyes See you nervous too adjusting your tie Our suits are bullet proof But they have us surrounded And I realise I'm Never gonna make it We were just children We couldn't know our lives would ever end We'd take it back if we could If they'd only let us leave the neighbourhood Their rifles glint, their eyes train on us Itching to shoot, greedy with kill lust Tell us to give it up Through loud hailer bursts But I realise I can't and we shoot first We ran from where we hid The sounds of the fire fight seemed muted And notes billowed from our bags And ruby lines ripped apart the lives we had Beauty is, in my head and I just can't handle it You lie next to me You die next to me And as the sunlight hits the wheels I just can't conceal That beauty is, in my head And I just can't handle it.
