The Heist Lyrics - Rooms By The Hour - Rustic Overtones

I walked in the bank - the black leather bag tucked 

tight beneath my arm. 

When I pulled that .45 

I looked into the bankers eyes 

"Don't you dare pull that alarm" 

I screamed hit the floor" 

a woman screamed "please, help me lord" 

and I thought about you dear. 

If you knew I lost my job, and gambled what we've 

saved and lost 

would you understand all of my fears? 

For once in my life can I do this one thing right? 

Felt the pressure tight 

a weekend man, a weekend heist. 

A Saturday I'd not forget 

Uncle Sam this money jam you put me in 

Took a human life to pay the debt 

I didn't hear the guards outside, I heard a scream 

I turned surprised, felt the smoking pistol 

in my grip. 

The gun went off into the soft yellow tie 

that hung beside the banker's heart 

inside the banker's chest. 

Lived such a short life, i hope he'll be alright. 

For once in my life I feel so damned alive.
