Nick Rowe - 512 lyrics

[Verse 1] Six bars laid across the sky Four empty walls to fill the time One careless word, you lose your life A grave new world awaits inside [Verse 2] Lycanthropic survival instincts Embrace the beast and shun the weak Awake the primal one that sleeps inside Or feel the shiv(er) running through your spine [Pre-Chorus 1] The time is slipping by no peace in sight But the teeth of time still hold their bite [Chorus] My hands are painted red My future's painted black I can't recognize myself, I've become someone else My hands are painted red [Verse 3] Schizophrenic amnesia Bid goodbye to all you knew and loved Forget the only life that you knew outside They bought the ticket, now you take the ride [Pre-Chrous 2] Six bars laid across the sky Four empty walls to fill the time [Chorus] [Bridge] Another number quickly learns the rules A hidden burner waits to point at you A subtle gesture and you're ventilated Talk isn't cheap here, bleed out in payment [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
