Letra de For the record

God knows I´ve longed to feel something but now´s not the time.
I´m caught up in the heartless disorder of a Friday night.
Focused on staying distracted until I lose sight of the tiresome and clinical patterns of my life.
I will cherish this love for the rest of my night.
One day I´ll find myself facing the firing line.
Serves me right.
For the record I´ve written my crimes.
I will cherish this love for the rest of my night.

[Chorus:]
Lord have mercy on my soul.
I´ve had a good run but I can´t run anymore.
Just put me down.
Lord have mercy on my soul.
I´ve had a good run but I can´t run anymore.
Just put me down.
Can´t sidestep the long arm for too long with this paper trail.
I´ve let them devour my heart for some material.
But I´m a drunkard, a coward, a crook. I ought to change my ways.
Face the music. Carry the can. Etcetera. Etcetera.

What´s next?
Trust me, I´m still with you somewhere. I just wish it was here.
Someday I´m bound to feel guilty but now´s not the time.
I´m sure I´ll get what I´m due.
Everything will be fine.
Hell bent on finding the next fix in the fog.
You´re in a cab on the way to your house. Change the locks.
I will cherish this love for the rest of the night.

[Chorus]
