rudy
you’re killing it downtown
you’re quieter now

rudy
they’re calling out your name
it’s never been the same
 
rudy
i’m staying on target
my bitterness, my regret

rudy
they’re smoking out on the deck
they’re a rope around your neck

I was feeling fine for a while
then it came to me, then it came to me
then they put me away, then they put me away
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to say
Last night I was fine, tonight’s my last night

rudy
don’t look away now
they’re killing you downtown

rudy
the budgets gone tight
the pitchforks are out tonight

rudy
tell me you’re scared
you’re tired and underprepared

rudy
the lines are getting crossed
and you know that you lost, you lost

I was feeling fine for a while
then it came to me, then it came to me
then they put me away, then they put me away
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to say
Last night I was fine, tonight’s my last night
 
tried to call my friends but the line was cut
(alone)
tried to sleep in but my time was up
(alone)
 
light it up on fire I’m going out tonight
I’m going out tonight
gonna tear through the district
rip their world apart brick by brick
not going out without a fight
tonight’s my last night

I was feeling fine for a while
then it came to me, then it came to me
then they put me away, then they put me away
I don’t know what to say, I don’t know what to say
Last night I was fine, tonight’s my last night
