Daylight

Daylight

Midnight runner
Suicide gunner
Long shot winner
Lonesome sinner

Out on the side of chance
Lit up the sky during the big dance
Like a burned out survivor in a trance
Like a surreal movie where you only get a glance

Midnight runner
Suicide gunner
Long shot winner
Lonesome sinner

We all pay for what we do
You can blow it off until you’re through
Or face each day as its new
Seize it or watch it go by it’s up to you

Midnight runner
Suicide gunner
Long shot winner
Lonesome sinner
