Moonlight Rolling

They say the pretty ones will always get you killed

But I dove straight into the fray

Didn't have a way of knowing

The cost that I would pay out on the field

Couldn't get out until too late

But hindsight doesn't save

I walk a path of death and injustice

But there's always that one thing

That lingers after the sting

The monster I chase has claimed countless lives

Masked in countless lies

Leaving grounds for flies

But when you're on the run

You run out of places to hide

Roll in

Walk right into the club with my heart and a bullet at hand

'Cause I've been chasing

The destruction you left in your wake since the carnage began

You were an uninvited guest

Stroll in my life and make a mess

Leaving a bullet in my chest

Leave me for dead among the rest

And maybe I was blinded by

Your beauty and your weary sigh

But I know better now that I've survived

And I find you at Moonlight Rolling

Moonlight Rolling

You're onstage

Dancing all though the night like the blood hasn't stained your hands

So with a brave face

I walk through the crowd so you'll get what justice demands

I fire a gunshot in the air

And the crowd screams and leaves in fear

And you stay dancing through the bass

Onstage untouchable up there

A loathsome troublemaking clown

No sign of even just a frown

I aim the gun at you and say

Get your ass down

And you boogie down at Moonlight Rolling

Moonlight Rolling

As a bullet rips through the speaker

You stop and with childishness say I shouldn't have down that

I say you're under arrest and you ask me for what

Have the decades addled your memory

But I realize that you don't seem to recognize me

Or even remember what you've done

You killed people

You killed my partner
