lyrics

he news feed comes up live mid chase
Full throttle down a dead end street
You’ve got the gun by your side and a brand new drink
A bomb in your mouth and you’re ready to speak

Is life getting you down? Tonight we both fall down.

You’ve got the knife to the neck and a gambler’s face
There’s a loser here at every turn
Got to push this one until I break
Until you win the fight and win this girl

Am I getting you down? Is it time to push around?

If you want to see the sunrise
If you want to make the night, oh yeah – Ultimatum
If you want to crash the car
If you push me too far, oh yeah - ultimatum

All this time my steps were wrong
No safe path through, no lesson learned
Take a swig and stumble to the door
And hope that tonight’s a different turn

Am I leading you down? Tonight we hit the ground.

If you want to see the sunrise
If you want to make the night, oh yeah – Ultimatum
If you want to crash the car
If you push me too far, oh yeah - ultimatum

There’s no running away from you tonight
There’s nowhere else, nowhere for this to go
Raise my hands, if you still want the fight
And see if this time I’ll still take the blows
