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.
