lyrics

First, she checked me out on the T.V screen in color. Colorless was the beast that she saw me be, perfect for murder. Syndrome of a love game had me playing along to any song she sung, I never knew she was taking me to a killer ball.

So, we arrived to a butler dressed in blue, calling me her blues man. I said "Sir, where may I take off my shoes? This might get sweaty." Shook laughing by the door way, when the silence hit, hair stood up, pressed up my neck. I knew there was something wrong when they said

"Run, run, run while you can. We'll catch you with our bloody hands. We won't sleep til' you understand. Boy's like you don't belong. You'll always get it wrong."

So, up the stairs, through the door to the bathroom mirror to see what they saw. Victim, enemy, both might be true with fear in front of everything that I worked for. But, an ego-death may not save my life this time. My face could not hide. So, I jumped out the window, just to beat around this bush for a sec. Took a breath, ran for the nearest taxi queue. Although, it was blue. Headed towards the hotel, brother took a wrong turn, said "We're going straight for the water. It's time to clean our sins." And he said

"Run, run, run while you can. We'll catch you with our bloody hands. We won't sleep til' you understand. Boy's like you don't belong. You'll always get it wrong.
Run, run, run while you can. You're guilty with dirty plans. Oh, give up and take a stand. Boys like you don't belong. You'll always get it wrong."

Flooded with the truth that set it stone, with burden. Heavier, I became closer to touch nirvana. Praying under water, I laid my knees on the ocean floor. I gave in. I gave in. I gave in.
