Atmosphere - Millie Fell Off the Fire Escape lyrics
[Atmosphere - Millie Fell Off the Fire Escape lyrics]
She dropped the gun and started
Running down the corridor
She found the exit to get
Out that department store
She reached full sprint when she
Hit the parking lot she didn't see police
Not even any rent-a-cops
She ran across the street and
Went behind the Applebee's
From there she could see
Those abandoned factories
Figured there's a good place for
Her to hide away
Knowing she could climb inside
Through the fire escape
At this point, still felt like a dream
In her head she could still
Hear the little kid's screams
Leaning up against the dumpster
To find some breath
She could hear the sirens
Now it's time to step
Running through the alleyway, now relentless
Bobbing in between houses, hopping fences
Only two more blocks 'till the overpass
The adrenaline is rendering a panic attack
Maybe she should go back and explain it all
Maybe the best thing to do
Now is take that fall
Ain't no way that they won't understand
Daddy's little girl is never
Gonna hurt again
She can't believe that she's
Having this dilemma tryna find a reason that
She shouldn't go surrender
She's a kid and a first time offender
Plus he had it coming
Hell is colder in December
Decided she would make it
To the vacant warehouse
From there she could try to get
Her head to clear out
She needs a minute to sit and think
Some time to reflect on these
Events and let 'em sink
There's the building
It's empty she hopes to God
The fire escape is on the
Back near the loading dock
The next chapter to the happy ever after
Wrapped her little fingers 'round
The cold metal ladder started climbing
That's when she heard the officer
"Millie turn yourself in now girl
Come down from there"
She tried to look over her shoulder
Lost balance, fell four stories, it was over
Running down the corridor
She found the exit to get
Out that department store
She reached full sprint when she
Hit the parking lot she didn't see police
Not even any rent-a-cops
She ran across the street and
Went behind the Applebee's
From there she could see
Those abandoned factories
Figured there's a good place for
Her to hide away
Knowing she could climb inside
Through the fire escape
At this point, still felt like a dream
In her head she could still
Hear the little kid's screams
Leaning up against the dumpster
To find some breath
She could hear the sirens
Now it's time to step
Running through the alleyway, now relentless
Bobbing in between houses, hopping fences
Only two more blocks 'till the overpass
The adrenaline is rendering a panic attack
Maybe she should go back and explain it all
Maybe the best thing to do
Now is take that fall
Ain't no way that they won't understand
Daddy's little girl is never
