lyrics

I feel like I got
a gladiator dagger
stuck in my back.
Walking slowly down a hundred avenues
all equal in their filth
with the people who are all alike
turning like luggage on a conveyor belt
after a round trip they reappear.

Mmmmh, I don't care much about people
a city memory
is made of streets, lights, walls
I narrow my eyes
and the scenario all around
becomes a night time western town.

My bones now
are getting better
after a half night
spent in wandering.
I focus in on my valuable target
got an area and a face
I'm slowly approaching
on an uncertain route
that smoking meeting point.

Painstaking, rational, nervous Meticulous, logical, edgy
the circle narrows
as I approach my aim,
and whips pinch my nerves
I had a moment’s peace
but the pain is back again.

No, I don't have to give up
When I'm so close
to tastin' victory.
My mind rolls back
I leave praxis and dive
into that coffee smell
I could stop but won't lose time
I'm too intent on this mission
to enjoy a brief reprieve.

My hand is on the gun
Whilst I go over
my very next move
I only have to cross
the spanish district
in order to hit downtown.
