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
