When she first saw him
In her blood she knew her role
He'd be king of the castle

She'd be the riches he stole
Some can only stumble through
The empty rooms of their soul

And it takes ashes
To make them whole
She looks in his eyes

When he brings out his gun
His uniform is open
He has a great buzz on

He says, ?(*##$ dance with me
I'm sick of the sun?
He shakes his money maker

Without the safety on
She tells herself,
?Don't ever act afraid

This is not how my
Debts will be paid?
And she never wants

His good time to fade
When hatred starts to flash
Twilight from his blade

He holds the gun loose and free

Like it's a toy

Like an orchestra conductor who
Surrenders to the joy
He feels his destiny

Feels it like a boy
That it's too important
For anyone to destroy

So around and around they go
On the rug by the bed
He's pulling out his best moves

He's cool as Wonder Bread
And the gun goes off
And paints her face all red

When she was dancing with him
He was dancing with the dead
You can forget your shadow

You can forget your dreams
But if you say the right words
Your uniform is clean

He loves those cop sunglasses
Loves what they mean
They show the world

That he's on the winning team
