lyrics

Knocked out
layin' on the asphalt
two black eyes
I guess it was a sweet shot
Shadow eyes
pistol, long black coat
Two white gloves
I'm a cut-short cut-throat
Sick feeling,
Eyes open, mind closed
Thoughts run dry scraped hands and a bloody nose
Play it over, the rewind to repeat
The scene plays through pretty soon and I'm on my feet

Stand up
stars flash, the room spins
Got no time to stop for a broken rib
Second chance
two nines to the vest
First mistake not making sure that I was dead
Cut ties
nothing left to cut loose
Felt like a long drop from a short noose
Walked out
he thought he had the check-mate
When I see his face, there's no way I'll make the same mistake

Run, Hide, Hideaway
Run, Hide
Run, Hide, Hideaway
Run, Hide

Long night
no sleep for the dead
Big block howls like a streak of screaming hot lead
Sights set
crossing off the ones who crossed me
Won't stop
Won't quit
Won't come quietly
No fight
no chance to swing through
Had to crack the teeth of a shark with a pool cue
Kicked in
wood cracked, splinters fly
Tried to coax the words from his mouth with a '45

Run, Hide, Hideaway
Run, Hide
Run, Hide, Hideaway
Run, Hide

Run, Hide, Hideaway
Run, Hide
Run, Hide, Hideaway
Run, Hide
