Fast Talk

Me and my best friends, cruisin' down West End Street Hidin' from cops and drivin' circles around the block all week Now, all of my friends died out on West End Street They say we're born to die young, but we're just tryin' to live in peace So maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks Shangri-La dealers at the bus stop And maybe God is just a cop that we can fast talk So if you're guilty, and you know it, put your hands up 'Cause karma's just a different word for bad luck And what if death is just another pair of handcuffs? Then we better run Then we better run All of our friends went crazy on LSD Sailin' their cars through the big, bright city streets And everyone knows our name, says that we ain't ever gonna change They say we're born to die young, but we're tryin' to find a better way They say we're born to die young, but we're tryin' to find a better way Maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks Shangri-La dealers at the bus stop And maybe God is just a cop that we can fast talk So if you're guilty, and you know it, put your hands up 'Cause karma's just a different word for bad luck And what if death is just another pair of handcuffs? Then we better run Then we better run What up? (Hey, what's up, man?) I'm just sittin' in my own head And I'm gonna be 32 years old tomorrow, and I feel Half completely alive and half completely dead Hope and we pray, day after day They say we're born to die young, but we're gonna find a better way Hope and we pray, day after day They say we're born to die young, but we're tryin' to find a better way So maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks Shangri-La dealers at the bus stop And maybe God is just a cop that we can fast talk So if you're guilty, and you know it, put your hands up 'Cause karma's just a different word for bad luck And what if death is just another pair of handcuffs? Then we better run Then we better run Then we better run
