Alicia Keys – Perfect Way To Die – Şarkı Sözleri

“[Verse 1]
Simple walk to the corner store,
Mama never thought she would be gettin’ a call from the coroner,
Said her son’s been gunned down been gunned down,
“Can you come now?”
Tears in her eyes “Can you calm down?
Please ma’am can you calm down?”

[Pre-Chorus]
But it rained fire in the city that day they say,
A river of blood in the streets,
No love in the streets,
And then came silence in the city that day they say,
Just another one gone,
And they tell her move on.

[Chorus]
And she’s stuck there, singing,
“Baby don’t you close your eyes,
‘Cause this could be our final time,
And you know I’m horrible at saying goodbye,
And I think of all you could have done,
At least you’ll stay forever young,
I guess you picked the perfect way to die,
Oh I guess you picked the perfect way to die.”

[Verse 2]
New job new city new her,
Bright-eyed you would have been proud if you knew her,
Flashing lights in the mirror pull over pull over,
A couple nights in detention and it’s over a whole life’s over.

[Pre-Chorus]
They came marching in the city that day they say,
Carryin’ signs in the street,
Cryin’ eyes in the streets,
But they heard nothing from the city that day they say,
Just another one gone,
And the city moved on.

[Chorus]
We’re stuck here singing,
“Baby don’t you close your eyes,
‘Cause this could be our final time,
And you know I’m horrible at saying goodbye,
I’ll think of all you coulda done,
At least you’ll stay forever young,
I guess you picked the perfect way to die,
Oh I guess you picked the perfect way to die.”

[Bridge]
Another dream lost,
Another king and queen lost,
Another broken promise they refuse to make right,
Oh another night to live in fear,
Oh another night that you’re not here,
Another reason to get out there and fight.

[Chorus]
But I said, “Baby don’t you close your eyes,
‘Cause this could be our final time,
And you know I’m horrible at saying goodbye,
But I’ll think of all you coulda done,
At least you’ll stay forever young,
I guess you picked the perfect way to die,
Oh I guess you picked the perfect way…”
