Taco Tapes - No Retreat Lyrics

It was an issue of too much heat
Fan broke and the radiator cracked
And now the monkey on his back
Is driving this machine
Ain't it sweet
When the salt from the water in your tears
Run down your cheeks, admission is free

If you ain't got a dime or a nickle, you still got me
You can fight the current, but there ain't no retreat

You were rocking out to a dream
Fighting back against the evil forces
You were wondering the streets
But there's no relief
The ghost of an orphan child
But there's no redemption in the streets
Put the cart before the horse
Now the horse has gone wild

If you ain't got a dime or a nickle, you still got me
You can fight the current, but there ain't no retreat

Thieves come at me from my blind spot
The next thing I knew there was a gun at my side
You're holding the conversation hostage
Afraid of yourself as you run through the night

If you ain't got a dime or a nickle, you still got me
You can fight the current, but there ain't no retreat

If you ain't got a dime or a nickle, you still got me
You can fight the current, but there ain't no retreat
