Pick you up in the suburbs tomorrow.
We won't tell, they won't follow.
Pack your bags, and put all your trust in me.
Never had a gun to his head, that's what he said,
that's why I shot him dead,
with the vengeance that his daughter fed.
I've always been a sucker for a brown eyed, punk rock girl,
and for her I'd shoot the world.

[Chorus:]
(Shoot him down) Shoot him down for all the nightmares.
(Shoot him down) What goes around will come around.
(Shoot him down) Your father is also your pain.
I love you and for us I'll shoot him down.

No remorse.
We've got no time to look back.
The cop is on our trail
and we're driving in a Topaz.
Stuck in no-man's land, between the body and mind.
"Drop your gun!... Put your hands behind your head!"
Turn around, pop a clip, hit him in his chest.
Home free, and we're headed for the border.
Spending time in Mexico, Tijuana.
Drown our shame then start our lives again,
in California.

[Chorus]

Next thing I know, I'm all alone in a motel.
No explanation, no letter goodbye.
I can't promise much, but I do promise this.
I promise to find you.
So I can remind you.
I loved you and for us I shot him down.
