Atmosphere Millie Fell Off the Fire Escape song lyrics

[Slug]

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-it-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 it's 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
