armed robbery from Armed Robbery by Thorsten Nesch

Armed Robbery


I haven't seen the sea in two years, and myself in four
If you really want to slash my throat, what are you waiting for?

You came in here to rob the store, I'm working in
I'm not the owner of this place, nor of the life I'm living

In there are a million-dollar, and 20 in my sock
Use your knife the way you told me, the back door is unlocked

Let's get it over and done with it, my life ended years ago
Tonight my calls were heard, the angels must've sent to you

And let me go with the bang, I won't put up a fight
See, I put my hands behind my back, I also close my eyes

Maybe you don't want to see my face, it is better like this?
I can turn around all the way, and I can get on my knees

Just please not in my belly, because of my low pain tolerance
There are no witnesses, no cameras, it is the perfect crime

You rich and incognito, me dead and out of here
Nobody'll miss me, we open Monday, by then you are in Calgary

the only way my life could end better, would be for a higher cause
like Mandy Arbuckle, the waitress from the greasy spoon across

I would love to save her life by giving mine as the hero of her dreams
I imagine her soft smile will be the last thing that I see

Hey, where you think you're going? You can't leave me here, alive
I thought we had something in common, you and I
