Gold

Got a tattoo of a snake
And a ski mask on my face
But I woke up in a ditch behind the stop ’n go
Lying in the weeds with a bullet in my gut
Watching dollar bills fly away in the dust

Now the sun’s sinking down, spilling gold on the ground
But I’m going out tonight, out past the last lights of town

There was a girl with dark eyes and hair shining black
It ran like a river wild down her back
But these wide empty streets
An the air shaking with heat
They made me hungry, hungry to do something mean

Now the sun’s sinking down, spilling gold on the ground
But I’m going out tonight, out past the last lights of town

The stop ’n go’s closed, the coyotes they moan
And the wind’s rolling beer cans down the street

But the sun’s sinking down, spilling gold on the
Ground, and I’m going out tonight, out past the last lights of town
