|
I've got a thing to do |
|
And I know it's gonna hurt you |
|
I'm sure it will cost me too |
|
But I'm willing to pay my dues |
|
Red blood in vessels of blue |
|
It's hard to believe but true |
|
I've got a thing to do |
|
I hope it will get me through |
|
Chorus: |
|
Come on now let's leave this party |
|
We don't care what they do or say |
|
I'll never get the keys to the city |
|
I'm only staying for one day |
|
Hold your ground, don't ever look down |
|
Stare 'em straight in the eye |
|
I'll never get the keys to the city |
|
I don't care I'm only passing by |
|
I've got a thing to do |
|
I'm afraid I'll miss my cue |
|
You only get a second or two |
|
Tell me now what would you do? |
|
Red blood in vessels of blue |
|
It's the truth, it's nothing new |
|
I don't want to make you blue |
|
It's something I have to do |
|
Chorus |
|
Tomorrow I'll be far away |
|
I'm only staying for one day |
|
I'll never get the keys to the city |
|
I've got a thing to do |
|
And I know it's gonna hurt you |
|
I'm sure it will cost me too |
|
But I'm willing to pay my dues |
|
Red blood in vessels of blue |
|
It's hard to believe but true |
|
I've got a thing to do |
