Such a high road woman you're living
I felt the hunger, the need to feed
With you so far above me
I stole some fruit from the low hanging tree
This apartment that we keep
Ain't nothing but a battleground
How can I ever expect to sleep
My heart is shattered by a bulletround
Infidels, sinners and mystics
The company I keep
It's over, over
Your firing squad it's loaded and it's ready waiting on me
Visionaries, rebels and misfits
The kinda guys I'd like to believe
But it's over, over
Your firing squad is loaded and it's taking its aim at me yeah, yeah
You keep a close watch over me
You are fueled by vain and pride
Now there's nothing I'd rather do
Than turn the truth back into the lie
This apartment that we keep
It's nothing but a battleground
How can I ever expect to sleep
My heart is shattered by a bulletround
Infidels, sinners and mystics
Company I gotta keep
It's over, over
Your firing is squad it's loaded and it's ready waiting on me
Scoundrels, crooks and pirates
Kinda guys I'd like to lead
But it's over, over
Your firing squad is loaded and it's taking its aim at me yeah, yeah
Come on
I line up, you lie down
And you grin and I frown
I feel the silence all around
Hear a pin drop, deadly sound
Beads of sweat on my brow
The firing squad is ready to shoot me down
Infidels, sinners and mystics
Company I gotta keep
It's over, over
Your firing squad it's loaded and it's ready waiting on me
Visionaries, vagabonds, villains
I just wanna be
But it's over, over
Your firing squad is loaded and it's taking its aim at me
Shoot me down
