Fourth track from The Stampede's new full-length "A Marvel of Idiocy".

lyrics

Calculated Risk

Well, we met with a bang and a flash
Like a .45 revolver ‘till the last shot’s cashed.
Well, I turned around to see what’s been done,
But before I know it she’s on the front.
Well shots rang out right in my ear,
and that lady’s gone ‘fore the smoke did clear
and she turned around to see what’s been done
‘fore I know it she’s on the run.

Chorus:
I want to believe that we’re alive.
I want to tell you we’ll never die.
Take the last breath of my short life,
but I let out a scream so hard it tears the sky

Well I drive around most every night,
Searching for a little lady who won’t treat me right.
She’s got long black hair and devilish eyes,
got a scarlet dress and an evil smile.
She’s gonna lay me down with all the rest,
tear my heart right out of my chest,
lay my little soul to waste,
throw that shit right in my face.

Chorus:
I want to believe that we’re alive.
I want to tell you we’ll never die.
Take the last breath of my short life,
but I let out a scream so hard it tears the sky

She’s gonna pin me down, and make me beg.
She’s gonna drive my mind, right out of my head.
She’s gonna pin me down, and make me beg.
She’s gonna drive my mind, right out of my head.
She’s gonna pin me down and make me beg,
Drive my mind right out of my head
Lay my little soul to waste
Throw that shit right in my face.

Chorus:
I want to believe that we’re alive.
I want to tell you we’ll never die.
Take the last breath of my short life,
but I let out a scream so hard it tears the sky

ooooo
