Riviera Lyrics - Big Head Todd And The Monsters

Just a little bit gun-shy 

With a criminal mind 

She came in like an animal 

And left like an innocent child 

Now I'm stranded on empty 

Across nation lines 

Clear night like a rosary 

Against a dashboard light 

Driving to you, Riviera 

How can you run? 

Now the moon and the pavement 

Are like noon daylight 

Smokestacks and the gambling signs 

Along the black horizon line 

I once had a sister like you 

Lost on the other side 

You run because you have to 

From the firing lines 

Shot into you Riviera 

How can you run? 

And how long can you run? 

Ain't it strange how the ones you steal 

They keep you alive 

How she could make you feel 

Like you never been high? 

I can't remember what was real 

Like a killer in denial 

Careful to conceal 

Every last line 

Leading to you, Riviera 

I deliver to you, Riviera 

How long can you run? 

And how long can you run? 

And how long can you run?
