Riviera Lyrics

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?
