Rock'n'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.

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.

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.

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.
