Fast Talk

Me and my best friends, cruisin' down West End Street
 Hidin' from cops and drivin' circles around the block all week
 Now, all of my friends died out on West End Street
 They say we're born to die young, but we're just tryin' to live in peace
 So maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks
 Shangri-La dealers at the bus stop
 And maybe God is just a cop that we can fast talk
 So if you're guilty, and you know it, put your hands up
 'Cause karma's just a different word for bad luck
 And what if death is just another pair of handcuffs?
 Then we better run
 Then we better run
 All of our friends went crazy on LSD
 Sailin' their cars through the big, bright city streets
 And everyone knows our name, says that we ain't ever gonna change
 They say we're born to die young, but we're tryin' to find a better way
 They say we're born to die young, but we're tryin' to find a better way
 Maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks
 Shangri-La dealers at the bus stop
 And maybe God is just a cop that we can fast talk
 So if you're guilty, and you know it, put your hands up
 'Cause karma's just a different word for bad luck
 And what if death is just another pair of handcuffs?
 Then we better run
 Then we better run
 What up? (Hey, what's up, man?)
 I'm just sittin' in my own head
 And I'm gonna be 32 years old tomorrow, and I feel
 Half completely alive and half completely dead
 Hope and we pray, day after day
 They say we're born to die young, but we're gonna find a better way
 Hope and we pray, day after day
 They say we're born to die young, but we're tryin' to find a better way
 So maybe heaven is a ghetto with no bad blocks
 Shangri-La dealers at the bus stop
 And maybe God is just a cop that we can fast talk
 So if you're guilty, and you know it, put your hands up
 'Cause karma's just a different word for bad luck
 And what if death is just another pair of handcuffs?
 Then we better run
 Then we better run
 Then we better run
