about

This song was composed in the autumn and winter 2021/22.
In this song you can feel the Diplomatics turn towards the new wave and punk-funk.
The basic riff is schizophrenic (similar to Gang of Four style) with sustained speed and an atmosphere of tension.
The lyric talks about a daring escape from the police ... in the streets of Chicago, the speed, the police shooting, the bullets grazing the car, the danger, the feeling that at any moment everything could end and the last thought to those who you will never see again.
In this hypothetical escape, the Diplomatics metaphorically treat fear and anxiety with r'n'r attitude.

lyrics

I can't believe what I am doing
Now I just need a miracle
'cause I cannot be sure
I’ll come back to you.
I can hear the bullets whistling around me
Police is shooting towards my car
And I just can't remember the reason
Why I’m here right now
I need to run, I need to run faster
The only thing I need is to come back to you.

I better run for the money
I better run from the police
I better run for the cigarettes
I need to come back to you.

Maybe it was better to sail on a different wave
Maybe it was better to write a new sad song
Maybe it was better to pray a different God
But now I'm here and I need to fly
I need to fly
I need to fly
I need to fly

I better run for the money
I better run from the police
I better run for the cigarettes
I need to come back to you.
