I know you’re sun is shining (I know that I’m all right).
I know that the sky is blue and I know that you once were true.
I know the sky is blue and I know my fingers don’t do what they do.
You know that this could be the one and you know that this could be the one.
I know that you want to hate me I don’t want to lie to you (I don’t want to lie).
Buildings coming forth right now. Buildings are going to shadow us (you)out.
Buildings coming for you right now and buildings is going to shadow you out.
You know that this road is wide/white. You know were going to drive (we drive) all night.
Got to got to get there. She’s been waiting in the shitty (shady) weather.
(where it’s pouring rain) (it’s pouring rain) (in the pouring rain).
You said you’d be on the 6 o’clock news and I knew that this was not true.
You said you’d be on the 6 o’clock news but I knew that gun wasn’t there (I know this just wasn’t true).
I hid you gun I buried it deep. I hid your gun and buried it in your sleep.
I know you’re angry and you want to shoot but there’s got to be some better way to find the truth.
So you wait (wait check your watch again) and check (check your own watch) your
watch again (again) (watch again).
Why don’t (didn’t) you learn the two-step, we can go and move way out West.
Wish you knew how to two-step we could go and move out West.
These buildings will shadow us, these buildings will shadow us.
These buildings will shadow us so let’s go where they can’t find us.
Private dicks, aw, they chase us (them) down. They got a clue that you’re around.
I don’t think that they’ll find the gun like I told you I buried the only one.
I know that you got to go so let’s hot wire a car and let’s (not) go.
I know we’re on the run and now I wish (I’d) we’d have dug up the gun.
Aw come on and Aw come on and Aw come one and Aw come on and
Aw come on maybe we’ll buy a gun, shoot ‘em up and go on the run.
(Aw come on) I know I see your point (gun). (On the run)I see it now your sore point.
Don’t waste those bullets on me.
