I Dreamt We Were Bank Robbers Lyrics & Chords By Black Diamond Bay

Sun bleaches the street
I shade my eyes
See you nervous too
adjusting your tie
Our suits are bullet proof
But they have us surrounded
And I realise I'm
Never gonna make it
We were just children
We couldn't know our lives would ever end
We'd take it back if we could
If they'd only let us leave the neighbourhood
Their rifles glint,
their eyes train on us
Itching to shoot,
greedy with kill lust
Tell us to give it up
Through loud hailer bursts
But I realise I can't and we shoot first
We ran from where we hid
The sounds of the fire fight seemed muted
And notes billowed from our bags
And ruby lines ripped apart the lives we had
Beauty is, in my head
and I just can't handle it
You lie next to me
You die next to me
And as the sunlight hits the wheels
I just can't conceal
That beauty is, in my head
And I just can't handle it.
