lyrics

In little place hidden just out of town
The medicine man says it´s gonna go down
Got the tools in my pocket and the plan down tight
I´m just waiting for the cover of a windy night.
Black as night - Out of sight - Yeah

Break it in, cut it down, and sweep it all away
But don´t make no sound, or they´ll make you pay
Better keep to the shadows, find a place to hide
If caught you´ll be lucky if they leave you alive.
Sterilized - no one to hear your cries…..oh

I don´t know what came over me – hesitation.
Up all night in the warm glow of anticipation.

I won´t believe in anything
This magic season
I won´t be leaving nothing
For you…

Well it´s take, take, take you got nothing to give
And then take a little more to make it easy to live
Put the pedal to the metal with your getaway shoes
Cause, son now you´ve got something to lose –
time to choose – cut the fuse.
Yeah

Up all night in the warm glow of anticipation.
Morning comes with the hard light of revelation

I won´t believe in anything
This magic season
I won´t be leaving nothing
For you
I won´t be leaving anything
This magic season
I won´t be leaving nothing
For you
