Pick you up in the suburbs tomorrow. we won't tell, they won't follow. pack your bags, and put all your trust in me. never had a gun to his head, that's what he said, that's why i shot him dead, with the vengance that his daughter fed. i've always been a sucker for a brown eyed, punk rock girl, and for her i'd shoot the world. [chorus] shoot him down. shoot him down for all the nightmares. shoot him down. what goes around will come around. shoot him down. your father is also your pain. i love you and for us i'll shoot him down.
no remorse. we've got no time to look back. the cop is on our trail and we're driving in a topaz. stuck in no-man's land, between the body and mind. "drop your gun!... put your hands behind your head!" turn around, pop a clip, hit him in his chest. home free, and we're headed for the border. spending time in mexico, tijuana. drown our shame then start our lives again, in california. [chorus] next thing i know, i'm all alone in a motel. no explanation, no letter goodbye. i can't promise much, but i do promise this. i promise to find you. so i can remind you. i loved you and for us i shot him down.
