about

From Atari Champ's 2003 CD Nostalgia. Part of a trilogy with the songs Visitation Days and Criminal Conversation.

lyrics

Sitting down in the same old chair
With the same Friday night infomercials
A knock outside, grab the gun, no one gets in
Was it the cat or another criminal

Muffled whispers from the kitchen
Someone left the back door open
A shadow in the hall, both barrels are loaded
I see a face I've never seen before

Then I pulled the trigger and he took the shot
In the gut
The girl fell to her knees and she yelled aloud,
No not this
And I screamed what the hell are you two doing here
In my house

I've called the police and they're on their way here
There's no where to run, I don't care about your tears
You can't convince me to let you go free
I have no regrets and I have no pity

You never know the day your life will change
It won't be the same, it won't stay the way it was
Because sometimes you run out of chances
You run out of chances, you run out of chances
You run out of chances, you run out of chances
You run out of chances, you run out of chances
You run out of chances, you run out of chances
