The Drifter

Lyrics

[Verse 1] If you in a quiet place, turn your lights down low Listen close to the voice on your radio show Now you openly, unknowingly chose To be invaded by a mystery man you don't know I play the role Of the life rearranger Mysterious style and a smile that hides anger Women are attracted, despite the danger And wanna play Madonna to this Beautiful Stranger It's like that, comin' right back at y'all again Into my trap, the fly honeys fall again A love kindled, you get swindled by the Charlatan, who brings romance like a Harlequin Authorities hunting me down for years From every city I leave a trail of tears If you scared, you should be afraid my dear So stay away from the magician who never reappears, cause yo [Hook] Oh, oh no, they got me on the run Away from the sun, the sun, the sun [Verse 2] I stroll into town like the High Plains Drifter Mental weightlifter, animal shapeshifter Old folks say "young man" kids say "hey mister" Bumped into misfortune, had a date with her We sang love songs and Hip Hop tunes That night by the light of the silvery moon To pass the time I kicked rhymes, the sun came up soon And gave rise to one of the warmest days in June But ever since (ever since) My heart was gunned down I swore I'd never settle myself in one town So I'm patiently waiting for the sun to go down To take to the street like Frankenstein unbound And move to and fro, soft and slow No matter how bad I wanna stay, I gots to go I turn a still life portrait to a picture show And when I leave they be cryin' "oh I miss him so" And I know [Hook] Oh, oh no, they got me on the run Away from the sun, the sun, the sun [Verse 3] For him love and hate are two things interwoven The beast within, there is no controllin' Out on a limb, got your heart stolen You stood there cryin' and I kept on rollin' Alienated yourself from your family and friends I skated and skipped town, with all of your ends So when the love commenced, I broke down your defense Overpowered, devoured by the beast called revenge Yes, revenge, is all that I want 'Cause some foul woman broke my heart once Until my wounds heal, I feel that I'm cursed To do the same thing to women all over this Earth I know, some women can't see what I'm after Some women even welcome this attacker Try to escape, but they even fell faster Under the spell of the lonely heart jacker [Hook] Oh, oh no, they got me on the run Away from the sun, the sun, the sun Oh, oh no they got me on the run Away from the sun, the sun, the sun Oh...
