Perfect Way To Die

歌詞

Simple walk to the corner store Momma never thought she would be getting a call from the coroner Said her son's been gunned down, been gunned down "Can you come now?" Tears in her eyes, "Can you calm down? Please, ma'am, can you calm down?" But it rained fire in the city that day They say A river of blood in the streets No love in the streets And then came silence in the city that day They say Just another one gone And they tell her, "Move on" And she's stuck there singing: Baby, don't you close your eyes This could be our final time And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye And I think of all you could've done At least you'll stay forever young I guess you've picked the perfect way to die Ooh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die New job, new city, new her Bright eyes, you would've been proud if you knew her Flashing lights in the mirror, pull over, pull over A couple nights in detention then it's over Her whole life's over They came marching in the city that day They say Carrying signs in the streets Crying eyes in the street But they heard nothing from the city that day They say Just another one gone And the city moves on We're stuck here singing: Baby, don't you close your eyes 'Cause this could be our final time And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye And I think of all you could've done At least you'll stay forever young I guess you've picked the perfect way to die Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way to die Another dream lost Another king and queen lost Another broken promise they refuse to make right Oh, another night to live in fear Oh, another night that you're not here Another reason to get out there and fight But I say: Baby, don't you close your eyes 'Cause this could be our final time And you know I'm horrible at saying goodbye And I think of all you could've done At least you'll stay forever young I guess you've picked the perfect way to die Oh, I guess you picked the perfect way
