Secrets ain't no good
Their dyes keep on lying
I'm like Robin Hood
I've made myself an island
I'm hiding in the shade
I go dark on summer days
This is the price of my freedom
Cars, boats, airplanes
I'm bored, insane
Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do
No I'm not looking back no more
The past is close behind
I and you to fast, to move
The passport and the driver
My job is laying low
Camouflage, filming gold
In disguise at the border
Cars, boats, airplanes
I'm bored, insane
Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do
Open up the heavens, we're kicking down the gate
Ask you real, real nice
Will you let us stay?
Open up the heavens, we're kicking down the gate
You smile real, real wide
Then slap us in the face
Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do
Do you know how long I'll wait for you?
Till I'm black and blue
And do you think we all hide from the truth?
In ways, I do
Open up the heavens, kicking down the gate
We're asking real, real nice
Will you let us stay?
Open up the heavens, kicking down the gate
You smile real, real wide
Then slap us in the face
