lyrics

Fly by Night
I’ve got an angel to my right
and a lawyer to my left
and my god its getting hard to tell
which one will suit me best
I’ve got a gun tucked in my pocket
Her picture on my locket
and my time is getting thin
I hear them counting down from ten

I gotta fly by night, fly by night
My blood is running cold
and I’ve got nowhere left to go
I gotta fly by night, fly by night
the weight upon my shoulders
is getting far too hard to hold

We’ve got a problem here
my heart was built on fear
my foots down on the gas
but theres no wheel for me to steer
I’ve got on a perfectly good suit
but i’m wearing the wrong shoes
i’m solving all of the wrong problems
with all of the wrong clues

I feel emaciated and ostracized
I pretend to be a cat
but i’ve got a crocodiles eyes
now with my leg pressing the pedal
and my hand gripping cold metal
I’ve got a meeting I cant miss
I’ve got a dance with the devil

I gotta fly by night, fly by night
My blood is running cold
and I’ve got nowhere left to go
I gotta fly by night, fly by night
the weight upon my shoulders
is getting far too hard to hold

So darling rest your head
lay back in your bed
I promise things will be better
when the sun rises
oh darling rest your head
lay back in your bed
I swear that things will be better
when the sun rises
I’ve gotta fly by night
