Don't Look Back

Somebody said State Street's covered in ashes
 I didn't ask for a name, I knew it was you
 In your bulletproof grin and your false eyelashes
 You took a handful of blood and you painted the sidewalk blue
 And they said, they said
 You were out there raising the dead
 But it looks like you covered up most of your tracks
 They're sure they'll find
 Something you left behind
 But I know you a little better than that
 You don't look back
 I remember all the rules that you taught me
 You said, "step right boy, this city's just a game"
 And "stick to the sidestreets, you'll never get caught
 But you left me on the boulevard, cold and screaming out your name
 And you said, you said
 The sky was spitting out red
 But I just saw a couple shades of black
 You moved like smoke
 Left me holding your coat
 And I know, wherever you're at
 You don't look back
 I heard your hair's a different color
 That don't change how you look in the back of my mind
 The older I get, the more I discover
 You stare into the dark long enough
 Something's bound to shine
 And I said, I said
 You left me for dead
 But there was never any truth to that
 I could breathe just fine
 We both know damn well once you start lying to yourself
 You're trapped
 And you don't look back
