"You stay here, keep out of sight I'll go make sure all's alrightKeep your head down out of the wayDon't you worry, we're okI gotta gun now, 'cos I'm slyNo more tears though, honeypieKeep my photo, hold it tightI'll be back soon, yes tonight!" So he heads out just to seeIf he can get both of them free "Don't believe it, the coasts not clearWe got to get right out of hereGot five bullets in my gunI'll distract them, you can runOk honey, I'll hold you tightBut this will not be our last nightNow just kiss me and say goodbyeAnd I'll see you the other side" So she runs to try and hideAnd the boy's right by her side "I took a couple out, I think?Pass the bottle, I need a drinkOnly got two bullets nowBut we'll get out of here somehow!They've broken in now, run awayPromise I'll see you another dayYes I love you, now just goI'll be with you tomorrow" He raises his arm to take aimWhen through his heart, a searing pain.....
