Riviera

(Album: Riviera - 2002)

Just a little bit gunshy
With a criminal mind
She came in like an animal
She left like an innocent child

Now I'm stranded on empty
Across nation lines
Clear night like a rosary
Against a dashboard light

Driving to you, Riviera
How long can you run?

Now the moon and the pavement
Are like noon day light
Smokestacks and the gambling signs
Along the black horizon line

I once had a sister like you
Lost on the other side
You run because you have to
From the firing lines

Shot into you, Riviera
How long can you run?
How long can you run?

Ain't it strange how the ones you steal
They keep you alive
How she could make you feel
Like you never been high?
I can't remember what was real
Like a killer in denial
Careful to conceal every last line

Leading to you, Riviera
Deliver to you, the Riviera
How long can you run?
How long can you run?
How long can you run?
