The Heist

How much longer 'til this safe is cracked?
My feet are cold and my hands are shaking bad
How much longer 'til the cops arrive?
To point their guns to catch us in a crime
And we've tried our best
To conceal the threat
That in time the law will catch us where we sleep
And we've tried our best
To conceal the threats
That in time the law will see us to our knees
How much longer 'til this engine starts?
My heart is racing like a cannon ball
How much longer 'til we get away?
And drive our crime through a different state
And we've tried our best
To conceal the threat
That in time the law will catch us where we sleep
And we've tried our best
To conceal the threats
That in time the law will see us to our knees
How much longer 'til this safe is cracked?
My feet are cold and my hands are shaking bad
How much longer 'til our luck is dry?
'Til you point your gun and shoot me in the side
And I've tried my best
To forget your threats
That in time your bullet would find its way in me
And I'll try my best
To hold my breath
In time the law will find me where I bleed
