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.
