Perish The Thought

Perish the thought
Of ever going home
Perish the thought
Of leaving you alone
Perish the thought
Of ever telling lies
But it looks like the cops are here now
Time to say goodbye

When I see you
I see the worst of myself
The part I left
In some corner of hell
When I see you
I kind of want it back
But it looks like the cops are here now
And they’re on the attack

It’s all a mistake that I never made
It’s a lot of cash, but I just got paid
Tonight
Tonight
I done my time and I paid my debt
You won’t get a piece of me yet tonight
Sing it, fellas

Hey, oh-ay-ah-oh-ah
Hey, oh-ay-ah-oh-ah

I made my run
For the midnight train
I dropped my gun
In a settling rain
I made my peace, yeah
With the one upstairs
But it looks like the cops are here now
Ending all my affairs

Hey, oh-ay-ah-oh-ah
Hey, oh-ay-ah-oh-ah
Hey, oh-ay-ah-oh
