Killers on the Run

from Poetry and Protest by Tom Alter

/

lyrics

He keeps quiet, he keeps to himself
He has always lived alone
He could argue with an empty room
He is a hard man to pin down

Three down by the side of the road
The things people are capable of you never know

Carries his hatred in the darkness
Carries a bible in the sun
With some drink in him anything could happen
He was always an emotional one

Three down by the side of the road
The things people are capable of you never know

Everybody has a motive
Everybody's come undone
Everybody is a suspect
Everybody has a gun
Check for prints
There's a killer on the run

They were only seventeen years old
They were only twenty one
It seems always so unexpected
But why should it be?
Everybody has a gun.

Three down by the side of the road
The things people are capable of you never know

Everybody has a motive
Everybody's come undone
Everybody is a suspect
Everybody has a gun
Check for prints
There's a killer on the run

And haunting music plays in the background
There are killers, many killers on the run
Haunting music plays in the background
There are killers, so many killers, oh my God
Oh my God
