Gangsterland

Been waiting for a break that in the end
kills our false happiness
Please confess you've felt this coming
Baby, time was not our friend
It's just a mender of
a smotherer of all bad tidings

Julie, don't go back to Gangsterland
Because they don't need you, they need me
And how should I know?
Did I plan it this way?
We burnt our future
Still got our past, our past to lean on

Sammy, be there at half-past-ten
It's been a long time coming
I feel so unprepared for his work
And Johnny, I'm here again my friend
You say my eyes grew soft
She was the one I was thinking of

Remember a spring we were reborn
And Julie, you told me that shadow's gone
and I should have known
beneath the rays of sun
your smile would linger
But you were wrong, you were wrong
