If you shoot me through the forehead Would you wonder what I dreamed? We’re each other’s targets tonight Only one will see the sunlight Seem to bless his lover’s eyes Soldiers don't question null Our local car was totally full Of political hacks parroting lies Do you also have empty night streets?

I wasted a second wondering If we’d let each other live
