Lyrics

Let's jump off a train, honey
Let's jump off again, honey
In this city of wolves
Vegetation and dimes

Let's pretend it's fine, honey
Let's pretend you're mine, honey
In this city of lies
Real life is a crime

What are we waiting for?
A big grim reaper in a long black limousine?
Call this toll free number
1-800-REAPER, ask for Dean

It's the summer freeze, honey
It's for you and me, honey
I remember your face
It was right next to mine

Next to mine

I'm dancin' in the shadows
Dancing in the shadows
