Vulture City - There's a Rifle in My Guitar Bag

I've got a rifle in my guitar bag
A getaway car in the lot
I hope I'm in and outta there
Without firin' a single shot
I got the plans laid out in my head
Goin over em again and again
I cross my fingers, take a big deep breath
Then I swing the doors open

I waltz on up to the teller's desk
She greets me with a grin
"Hi there, how you doin' today? is there Something I can help you with?"
She asks so sweet "do you perhaps need to Open an account with us?
"It's been a slow day, I ain't busy, so it wouldn't Be no fuss!"

I look right in her big blue eyes and say "Ma'am now here's the call
"I ain't never been to this bank of yours but I'd Like to make a withdrawal"
As she looks at me her eyebrows rise like she Does not understand
I smirk a bit lean on in and say
"I've got a rifle in my guitar bag"

She opens up her mouth to speak but before She gets in a word
I say "ma'am I mean no harm to you, there's No need to disturb
"Let's keep it peaceful and quiet too, act like It's just another day
"If you'd kindly fill a bag with a million bucks I'll Be right on my way"

Well just my luck she freezes up like a deer When your headlights are on
I can see from the look of fear on her face that She's tripped the silent alarm
I shake my head and whisper "damn" cuz this Just ain't goin' my way
I take my rifle out the guitar bag and say "take Me to your safe"

Now as she's helping me fill up my bag with Big ol' stacks of green
In the distance I hear the dreadful sound of The police sirens scream
I start to sweat, my heart is pounding, I feel my Face my is flush
I turn to the clerk and say "hurry dear I'm Clearly in a rush"

We finish up, shut the vault door and just my Luck again
I hear a voice outside on a megaphone "we Have you surrounded!"
Out the corner of my eye I spy a back door That I hope ain't guarded
With a glance at my girl I say "it's been a Pleasure" and I begin to sprint

I burst through the door and I fall to the floor As the officers fill me with lead
Them bastards weren't lyin' when they told me On the megaphone that I was surrounded
Now I'm bleeding out in the parking lot and I'm Staring up at the sky
I close my eyes and say to myself "I'll get it Right next time"
