I used to wait in the background.
You used to tell me,
"Nothing but lingering lies will fall."
You give me the reasons,
I'll give you the answers
Give me your keys,
I was on the run.

I've got you dead in the crosshairs
dead in the middle,
twin-barreled eyes no eyes could see.

Want to walk on the mirrors,
been walking for years,
it took time but I believe.

It's a two-way shakedown
it's a two-way shake and you've got to keep up
it's a two-way shakedown
it's a two-way shake and you've go to keep up.

Move me into the foreground
into the headlights,
into the back room of your plight.
You take me out of the cell blocks
up to the rooftops
into the skyline every night.

You've got me dead in the crosshairs
dead in the middle
light from dark eyes is all I see,
want to walk on the mirrors,
I'm walking for years
it took time but I believe.

It's a two-way shakedown
it's a two-way shake and you've got to keep up
it's a two-way shakedown
it's a two-way shake and you've go to keep up.

You keep me alive,
You keep me alive,
You keep me alive,
You keep me alive.
