Pretty girl, some time ago
She drank the fire to k** the pain she knew
She knew there had to be a better way
She said she'd look for it another day
Oh she never did
He parked his car outside the corner store
Flipped up his hood, pulled out his .44
He shot the clerk for only twenty-five
And told the cops they won't take him alive
Oh they never did
We look up high and stare into the sun
Then go inside where the fluorescents run
We live so long within the safe and cold
Believe these walls will keep us safe and warm
Oh they never did
