Track Insight / Lyrics
Grey rain hits the rusted old hood
Steel rain where the garden once stood
The meter is ticking in time
A nickel for every small crime
Cross the border, slip through the gate
Don't you push it, don't tempt your fate
Carry the loot, hold it real tight
Vanishing fast into the night
He walks through the Customs dead zone
A man and a rifle alone
The asphalt is cracked like a bone
The wind has a low, heavy moan
Cross the border, slip through the gate
Don't you push it, don't tempt your fate
Carry the loot, hold it real tight
Vanishing fast into the night
The dorms are a maze of cold stone
Where seeds of a bitter war grown
One click of a trigger, one spark
A flash in the deep, velvet dark
Check your pockets, check every seal
The hunger is jagged and real
Gold in the bag, blood on the floor
Nobody knocks on this door
The Shoreline is quiet and deep
While sentries their lonely watch keep
The water is black as a coal
A price for a desperate soul
Cross the border, slip through the gate
Don't you push it, don't tempt your fate
Carry the loot, hold it real tight
Vanishing fast into the night
I drive through the fog and the haze
The city is lost in a maze
A fare for a man who can run
Before the first rise of the sun
Cross the border, slip through the gate
Don't you push it, don't tempt your fate
Carry the loot, hold it real tight
Vanishing fast into the night
Just another trip to the coast.
Watch your six, kid.
Ride slow.
