Bounty

    Dead or Alive  
 the only thing    
that I wanted  
Was a space in    
 this place  
where I wouldn't    
be haunted  
   
Don't    
count on the secrets  
in your safety-deposit  
To bury    
  the bones  
you've left in the closet  
So cash in your dreams  
cause it seems    
that you've lost it  
   
     What do you mean?  
You hear screams  
     from the faucet
 
   
I can't understand  
how you plan    
to make profit  
with sand in your hands  
as you empty your  
Pockets  
     Dead or Alive  
When it's gone  
& you've lost it  
In the back of  
      your mind  
You will always    
be haunted...
