lyrics

LADY LIBERTY (Hiorns) Dec 2012 & Nov. 2013

Nebraska plains – Cadillac
She said don’t look back – she said don’t look back
An L.A street to the desert heat
She said don’t look back – never look back

And she said no
Don’t go downtown
There’s a madman around
And the sirens sound
She said no
Don’t look in his eye
Don’t be surprised
When the rope begins to rise

Moonlight drive - go take a walk
I feel the warmth
Yeah I feel the warmth
Faceless smiles on Miracle Mile
They start to cry
Yeah they start to cry

And she said no
Don’t go downtown
There’s a gun in his eye
And he’s shooting blind
And she said no
Don’t turn around
Don’t make a sound
When I feel like I’m the one
You better run

2014 in another town
Another one down
Another one down
Teacher falls and kids of war
They hit the ground
Yeah they hit the ground

And she said no
Don’t go downtown
Don’t waste another life
Don’t talk to me about pride
And she said no
As she walks thru the mall
Just can’t take any more
And her clothes all frayed and torn
Left for dead
