Dust On Your Breath

Take a page from an empty book
You're not illiterate, fellow
A good read could do some good
You won't turn the light on

Boy, you've got some learnin' to do
Before you burn out
Before the world forgets just who you were

Take a stroll down an empty street
Can you find your legs, fellow?
The atrophy is settling in
You gotta walk it off

Boy, you've got some learnin' to do
Before you burn out
Before the world forgets just who you were

The halo 'round your nose is white
But your belly is yellow
My steel piece and six shots say
"You best be running the other way!"

You can't run forever
You can't hide forever

Boy, you've got some learnin' to do
Before you burn out
Before the world forgets just who you were

At the stroke of 12
Six shots rang out
They say that boy died running
From everything that he lost

At the stroke of 12
Six shots rang out
They say that boy died running
From everything that he lost
