So listen carefully now ......

lyrics

Yeah, I was standing in the doorway when the phone rang
But it stopped before I could pick up
Didn’t take much imagination to figure out who.
And all week I’d been having this nagging feeling
Like a kind of slow itch - somewhere behind the eyes
Yeah, more cold sweat on a two day shirt
Empty take out cartons - cold coffee - and fear
Can’t stop looking over my shoulder now
You always said that they won’t forget - they don’t forgive
And that it doesn’t matter where you try to hide ...

Well I shut off the light and I split the blind – just a crack
So that only a blue neon flicker was mocking me from across the alley
Telling me to move, telling me I should never have come here
And that Jag with the blacked out windows - it’s still there -
It hasn’t moved for thirty six hours
When the Corsican arrived I should have know
When I saw the money I should have known
When the girl left? I should have gone
But I stayed …..

I can hear glass breaking two floors down. It’s very faint, like in a dream
So it won’t be long now, and there’s nowhere to go
And I remember all the times I waited – all the things that I left undone
You know they’ll come looking for you – so stay two steps ahead
You know I that I left that bastard in a pool of his own blood
So listen carefully now ….
The locker key is taped underneath your nightstand at the back
Make sure you burn the house and torch the car, leave nothing to find
Pick up the bag and the thirty eight – forget about me
And don’t ever look back …..
