We were young and had it all figured out:
she was the quiet one
and I had the mouth—
until she fell to me.
We escaped through the alley in the back!
Judge told me, "Creature, don't you dare go back!"
But I couldn't dodge the ringing in my head;
The lonely, subtle voice, through the echoes as it said:
"Please don't leave Me here, My Love."
There was something I forgot to tell her then,
between the kiss and "knock em dead, kid":
"There will be no other like you."
Now, I can't keep the guilt from my heart.
The stuttering emotions keep me fixed to fall apart—
and I know I'm leaving all this sweat in our bed;
a broken heart bleeding with a gun to my head.
The weight of the world on [our] shoulders, can you feel the thunder?
All Unheavenly Creatures…
All Unheavenly Creatures…
On the way to the car, I heard her voice a little louder:
"Please don't leave me here, my Love".
Oh, pretty angel, swinging from your cable:
I fear, My Dear, the end is near.
So, run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun!
Did anybody teach you better?
To obey and follow to the letter?
I fear, my dear, the end is here.
So, run, run, run, run, run like a son of a gun!
