Verse 1

Shadows moving on the wet pavement

whispers in the dark where the trust went

you took the hand that I offered clean

slashed it up behind the backstage scene

thought you'd run away with the heavy prize

laughing all the way with your alibi

but the street has ears and the street has eyes

and the countdown started on your compromise

Chorus

Betrayal is a debt that you always pay back

running down the alley on a one-way track

you thought you were slick, you thought you were cold

now you're standing in the freeze with a story untold

justice coming heavy with a measured stride

nowhere left to run, nowhere left to hide

Verse 2

Cornered in the alley by the iron gate
