Never Gonna Get Away Lyrics by The Cog Is Dead

Songs of the People

2017

[Verse 1]
There's a pair hiding in the park
Lurking in the shadows after dark
They always hop from town to town
While running from the law (Yeah)
A tougher pair than Bonnie and Clyde
Jesse James or Mr. Hyde
Destruction that they leave behind
Is the worst you ever saw
[Pre-Chorus]
And if you ever meet them
The odds are pretty slim
That you'll survive a ride with
"Bad Luck Chuck" and "Tombstone Kim"
[Chorus]
Oh yeah!
You're never gonna get away
Once these two get started, boy
They're never gonna stop
Oh yeah!
They'll live to see another day
If you wanna put a stop to Chuck and Kim
It's gonna take more than a cop! (wop doo-wop)
[Bridge (spoken)]
"This is an urgent news bulletin!
'Tombstone Kim' and her partner 'Bad Luck Chuck' are in the area
They should be considered armed and extremely dangerous!"
[Verse 2]
The first time they came to town
Nearly tore it to the ground
Knocking over banks and
Robbing everybody blind (Yeah)
Long as these two are on the loose
Seems no one'll cook their goose
Could it be they'll keep this up
Until the end of time?
[Pre-Chorus]
But in the next town over
A new sheriff's in town
And he's declared he's gonna take
This deadly duo down!
[Chorus]
Oh yeah!
You're never gonna get away
Once these two get started, boy
They're mighty hard to stop
Oh yeah!
They'll live to see another day
If you wanna put a stop to Chuck and Kim
It's gonna take one mighty cop! (wop doo-wop)
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
The new sheriff's pretty tough
This kind of man won't take no guff
Deputies were ready when
The two of them walked in (Yeah)
Well, Chuck and Kim were pretty quick
And jumped behind a pile of bricks
But they could tell that everything
Was looking pretty grim
[Pre-Chorus]
Kim said "I think our finish is just around the bend"
Chuck said "Let's go out swingin'
Right down to the end!"
[Chorus]
Oh yeah!
They're never gonna get away
Once these two get started, boy
They're mighty hard to stop
Oh yeah!
They fought until their final day
And that's the legend of Chuck and Kim
And their showdown with the cops! (wop doo-wop)
