Check the mirror for a sign
Cross the yellow double line
You got gear and you got grit
This is where the stories hit
Rain is slick on every street
Where the law and danger meet
Keep your eyes on every door
You ain't seen this kind of war
Ready or not the clock will chime
You are running out of time
Hold the line and keep the pace
Looking for a hidden face
Door is kicked and glass will break
One mistake is all it take
Silver badges in the hall
Watch the heavy curtains fall
Ready or not the clock will chime
You are running out of time
Hold the line and keep the pace
Looking for a hidden face
Metal cold against your skin
This is where the games begin
Take a breath and hold it tight
Driving through the velvet night
Quiet halls and heavy air
Traps are set inside the lair
Step by step and slow and low
That is how the pros will go
I have driven every mile
Seen the danger and the guile
Pay the fare and leave the key
This is how it has to be
Ready or not the clock will chime
You are running out of time
Hold the line and keep the pace
Looking for a hidden face
End of the line.
Watch the meter spin.
Check the mirror.
