Lori's Revenge

from This Island Life by Fearless Freep

	/

lyrics

she stood up straight on a power-trip feeling
in the back of her mind: the same lingering doubt
that always followed her home
confidence stealing
but she'd talk herself through it
cause there's no going back now

it's the point of no return
it's sink or swim, fly or crash and burn
do what i said, no one gets hurt
at least you tried ...

there was ice in her spine, steal in her pocket
as she strode up the walk
and through the automatic glass doors
there was no one around
save for the man at the counter
'hello john,' she said. 'i'm here to settle a score.'

there was the flash in eyes of stark recognition
as he looked in her face and down to the gun
and he started to speak but she wouldn't listen
she pulled the trigger six times
and there was nowhere to run

the case seemed open-and-shut
police found the register open
all the twenties were missing and john's wallet too
and when they came to her door
sad-faced and soft-spoken
she had to bite back a smile
while they relayed the bad news
