lyrics

Is this the end?
Your knees are dancing, you know you can't pretend
The world turns monochrome
Suddenly you're utterly alone
Desperate for a place that no one goes
Somewhere no one knows
Let's go

Beneath the callous eyes
Though you want to criticise, there is a broken man
That he's trying to hide
He pictures her face
The sullen, guilty look
The tragic fall from grace
Something that he can't forget
A place they never went
Let's go

The bitterness it is no masquerade
The vindictive sheriff was not born but made
Thought she was good, thought she was pure
He thought she was faithful and true
But, honestly, between me and you

This was not a girl you would introduce to your mother
Kinda girl who would not hesitate to double-cross her own brother
She was a girl you ought to be wary with
Kinda girl you do not persevere with
And she was never gonna see it through
It's true

Never was annihilation he was planning
And with a little insight, and a little understanding, I think
You'll comprehend

Under the neon of the cold suburban West
He drew his revolver and he aimed it at her chest

Indigo streetlight illuminates his face
As he reaches for sweet redemption's embrace
In a moment so laughably tender
Death in all it's splendour
