As Fast as They Come

I'm strutting down the street
And I'm looking like a queen
I missed the last bus
But won't take the next train
I see your lips a-moving
And I don't give a shit
We know just what we want
And baby you ain't it
You better run, run, run ditty dum
You better run, run, run, as fast as they come
I've got a badge, burden, belt, hat, and a gun
And I'm acting pissed drunk
But I'm just having some fun
I'm strutting down the street
And I'm looking like a queen
I'm just a starving artist
Putting lead in all my paint
I see your lips a-moving
I don't give a shit
You know we need a cure
And baby you ain't it
You better run, run, run ditty dum
You better run, run, run, as fast as they come
I've got a badge, burden, belt, hat, and a gun
And I'm acting pissed drunk
But I'm just having some fun
Oh, oh, oh
Oh hell no
I'm strutting down the street
And I'm looking like a queen
I missed the last bus
But won't take the next train
I see your lips a-moving
And I don't give a shit
We know just what we want
And baby you ain't it
You better run, run, run ditty dum
You better run, run, run, as fast as they come
I've got a badge, burden, belt, hat, and a gun
You better run, run, run because I'm as fast
As they come

There's a light on in the back of this hotel room
For two, but she'd kill anyone who knew
Everybody better cash in their green chips now
This dance is boring, need of excitement shall
We dance the devil try to trip up his vibe
He's a slick man with his suit and tie
Well I got to impress her as she's leaving the scene
So pull a black Mercedes from the back of my jeans
And she's done
She's done
She keeps on knocking but nobody's home
She burned her bridges with no where to go
She is
So formidable
She spits a smile while she's cutting the last line
She's dealt the Devil and been burned for the last time
She is
So Formidable
We break the silence with one hell of a high speed chase
The air is tight and there's bodies left in our wake
Oh baby baby don't you leave me behind
Oh baby baby won't you please just be mine
(I said)
She drops a 9 out the back of a cab
I feel so sorry if I'm starting to lag
Well she can't leave a witness no not a witness to attest this
So she put a bullet in my head with true loves first kiss
She keeps on knocking but nobody's home
She burned her bridges with no where to go
She is
So formidable
She spits a smile while she's cutting the last line
She's dealt the Devil and been burned for the last time
She is
So Formidable
She is still running with the devil

Well I'm out of my mind
And out of a trust fund
Devour my heart
And regrow a third lung
Because there ain't no room
For a doubtless romanticist
With 40 thorny roses
For the hopeless compassionate
Well the doctor said son
Said you got something wrong
You've got a screw or two that's loose
And you're gunna have to choose
Is it money, fame, women, or drugs
Because your bioclock is ticking and it's going to blow a fuse (and I said)
Hey,
Just let it ride
Spit it puss in boots tell me what is your game
What's your baby's maiden name
And what time's your plane
If it's getting late
If it's running out of thread
Watch her flick that cigarette
Like she's spitting out revenge
The animals are tired
My rations are getting smaller
Every single day I'm thinking
Hell, wouldn't it be smarter to say
Hey,
Just let it ride.

I wanna hear your breathing underneath the door
I wanna see your wings, I wanna see your form
You've got that mark the key to my heart and
I wanna watch from your courtyard
I wanna gaze into your thousand year old stare
A flesh embrace and a lock of angel hair
I wanna feel you like I couldn't when you were here before
I wanna fuck you like we're rotting to the core
Rotting to the core
I wanna break the locks off of my coffin door
I want to breath in the air that I haven't before
I want to crawl across your gravity
I want to watch you feed
I wanna hear you fighting through the swelling of your throat
Cracking torches and screaming as they drag you below
I wanna crawl to watch you crawl
I want to watch you fucking crawl
Crawl,
I said crawl
Watch you fucking crawl
I want to watch you bleed out
I want to watch you burn
I want to watch you bleed
And watch you fucking burn
I said, burn
Burn,
Burn,
Watch you,
Burn,
Burn,
Watch you fucking burn
I said, burn
Burn,
Burn,
I wanna watch you,
Fucking,
Burn.

Yesteryears models
Lined up on the streets
Everyone in the world
Has their eyes locked on me
I walk a city block
As I'm drowning at sea
Old Joe stands laughing
And smiles at me
He knows something I don't want to know
He knows something I really outta know
I paid off all my debts
And got rid of all my fines
Not a stroke of luck
No, none for this guy
But I strut the walk I talk
As I'm drowning at sea
Old Joe still laughing
And smiling at me
He knows something I don't want to know
He knows something I really outta know
Yesteryears models
Lined up on the streets
Everyone in the world
Has their eyes locked on me
I walk a city block
As I'm drowning at sea
Yesteryears models look a whole lot like me.
