Killers on the Run (feat. E D Brayshaw)

from The Wily Bo Walker Story Vol I by Wily Bo Walker

/

about

Another cinematic tale from the pen of Wily Bo Walker.

Said of this track:

"'Killers on the Run', the final and longest track on the CD at nearly ten minutes, is a powerhouse number growing from an acoustic guitar and Fender Rhodes beginning to a Hammond motif reminiscent of Benmont Tench ,and then a full on journey of rip roaring guitar and keyboard breaks. It's a song similar to classic Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers around the 'Damn the Torpedoes' era." Chris Light - Fatea Magazine

"Tough NJ rock of 'Killers On The Run'. Enormous sounding guitars and heavenly gospel backing vocals enmesh over Walker's urgent pleading, leading to a blissed out funk, as vocals edge in and out of the mix!" David Innes - R2 Rock and Reel Magazine

"That is absolutely brilliant! …like it more and more!" Rob Harrison - Radio Caroline

"A real classic!" Barry Marshall-Everitt - House of Mercy Radio

"There is nothing quite like the quality of the arrangement and the lyrics that sit comfortably in songs such as Motel Blues, September Red and the gorgeous Killers On The Run. They blaze like a red hot poker and smoulder like a adoring gaze from a secret admirer, for that alone Wily Bo Walker is once again to be congratulated on bringing taste to the Blues deprived." Ian D Hall - Liverpool Sound and Vision

lyrics

WELL I DON’T KNOW WHAT I SAID TO YOU
ON THAT STRANGE AND FATEFUL DAY
YOU TURNED AROUND AND SMILED YOUR SMILE
WALKED AWAY
SOMETHING IN THE WAY YOU MOVED ME
SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE
I NEVER SAW YOU SO ALONE
THE NIGHT
JUDGE CARTER DIED…
THE NIGHT JUDGE CARTER DIED

MAMA C. CAME UP TO ME
IF MY MEMORY SERVES ME WELL
TAKE A DRIVEE DOWN ROTHKO BOY
TAKE A MOONLIGHT RIDE TO HELL
HER EYES SHONE LIKE DIAMONDS
ECHOING YOUR PAIN
AND IF I SAW YOU JUST THAT ONCE
I NEVER SAW YOUR FACE AGAIN

AND WHEN THE STARS COME OUT
I’LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA WHERE WE ARE
STUCK BETWEEN HEAVEN
AND THE BACK SEAT OF YOUR DADDY’S CAR
DON’T THE MOON ON THE GROUND
MAKE SUCH A DELICATE SOUND?

WELL I’M SORRY IF HE HURT YOU
I’M SORRY IF HE MADE YOU CRY
BUT TONIGHT WE GOT EACH OTHER
WE GOT MIDNIGHT AS OUR ALIBI…
WHEN I THINK OF YOU I BURN, I BURN…
WHEN I THINK OF YOU I BURN…

AND WHEN THE STARS COME OUT
I’LL HAVE A BETTER IDEA WHERE WE ARE
LORD WHERE WE ARE
STUCK BETWEEN HEAVEN
AND THE BACK SEAT OF YOUR DADDY’S CAR
WELL THIS ROAD RUNS FOREVER
TWEEN SAND AND THE SKY
DOWN AMONGST THE PAIN AND THE LIES
WHERE YOUR DREAMS BECOME TWISTED
TANGLED UP IN THE NIGHT
OH DARLING…
WHEN I THINK OF YOU I BURN, I BURN…
WHEN I THINK OF YOU I BURN…

AND I’VE BEEN THROUGH EVERY MEMORY
AND IF A STONE S’BEEN LEFT UNTURNED
IT’S WHEN IT ALL COMES DOWN I THINK OF YOU
AND I BURN…
I BURN…
WHEN I THINK OF YOU I BURN…
I BURN…

I CAN TELL YOU TALES OF MURDER
I CAN SPIN YOU SUICIDE
WHEN THE TRUTH COMES DOWN I SWEAR TO GOD
I NEVER REALISED
BABY TALKS IN SWEET REVENGE
BABY’S GOT A GUN
WE HITCHED A RIDE TO CALIFORNIA…
WE’RE BOTH
KILLERS ON THE RUN
WE’RE ALL JUST KILLERS ON THE RUN…
ON THE RUN…

OUT HERE WE ARE TWISTED
OUT HERE WE ARE ALONE
OUT HERE WE ARE
BEAUTIFUL…

OUT HERE WE ARE STONE
OUT HERE WE ARE ALONE
OH SO BEAUTIFUL…

STONE COLD BEAUTIFUL…
