Snake Oil & Harmony - Last Man Standing

I've been walking this city again
Clothes are getting soaked in the rain
Got to keep my head down, keep my face well out of sight
There's a rental car parked in the street
An iron bar tucked up my sleeve
The sodium light is all that's keeping me honest tonight
The crooked and the straight live close or so they say
One to the other is a few hard knocks away

If I can't take it, I won't make it this time
The bigger picture, The little crimes
Will I be the last man standing?
If I can't make it, I can't face that hope dies
How am I gonna look when I look in your eyes?
Will I be the last man standing?

She knows I've been in trouble before
This ain't my first brush with the law
I was hard and proud, didn't think I had nothing to lose
How quickly life can change will take your breath away
How high the price you set to see your heart betrayed?

And if I can't take it, I won't make it this time
The bigger picture, The little crimes
Will I be the last man standing?
If I can't make it, I can't face that hope dies
How am I gonna look when I look in your eyes?
Will I be the last man standing?

Under cover of darkness I break my promises
Where bitter forces are brought to bear
I'll be standing in the light of your love, I can be saved
From the shadow of everything that's waiting there

And if I can't take it, I won't make it this time
The bigger picture, The little crimes
Will I be the last man standing?
If I can't make it, I can't face that hope dies
How am I gonna look when I look in your eyes?
Will I be the last man standing?
