lyrics

driving late at night signals fading fast
out here on the perimeter of my past
map says there's no exits no run off ramps to stop
and the future's up there down the road in the dark
darling whisper words of hope into my ear
radio is fading and it's getting hard to hear

and i'm running scared
for so long now
i've been running scared
for so long now

now i've got a million houses but i seldom feel at home
i've got a lot of friends but usually i'm alone
offer you no alibis proffer no excuse
because i'm dying just for something to hang on to
the pieces in this puzzle never seem to fit
life is like a handgun and the hammer just went click

driving late at night you're kissing my neck
conditions let's call them hazardous
you whisper to my soul she's probing past my knee
these are violent times baby wouldn't you agree
