Retaliation
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Long time run
Walking down the track
All across the desert
And you won't hold me back
Tryin' to find the rest of me
I know it's hard to find
When way out of this misery
Is all what's on your mind
Refrain:
I'm on the dirty road to nowhere
Be sure that you won't find me there
But if you really want to be with me
Just raise your dirty hands and swear
I used to be some inconspicious
Harmless kind of man
My aim was just to live in peace
I hope you understand
Contrary to my own expectations
In june of nintyfour
A killer in a dusty coat
Came knocking at my door
He burned my house into the ground
I lost my hope in just one fight
Kill his accomplice in return
But the one in charge escaped into the night
Asserted I was innocent
But all to no avail
They found me guilty of all points
And put me into jail
The killer in the dusty coat
Is still there on the run
Will find him and retaliate
My girlfriend and my son
Refrain:
I'm on the dirty road to nowhere
Be sure that you won't find me there
But if you really want to be with me
Just raise your dirty hands and swear
