Lyrics

I took the path through downtown
Pamphlets strewn across the ground
Lonely sinners sifting through four-color vulgar discounts
Casinos claimed jackpots were paid in large amounts
Through slots designed specifically to drain savings accounts
But the bright lights bestowed the omens
For tourists and Mormons
And strippers and showmen
High-rollers and poor men
Valets and doormen
Whores and casino floormen
Newlyweds and bachelors
And resident Renoans
While their kids stayed at home
They defaulted on their loans
It's so sad, so sad, but that's the way it goes
They say all kinds of cliches here
Like what happens here stays here
I know that don't happen here in Reno
Got pistol-whipped by a man in black
He shoved me from behind into a dank alley
He pointed the gun between my eyes
I held my breath
He aimed 90 degrees to the left
And shot a man pissing in the alley
Through the back of his head
I said, "Take money from the pocket of my blue denim pants
I just withdrew a couple dozen Ulysses S. Grants
I ain't here for the cash
I heard you fucked my ex-wife
And now you're fucking mine
I'm ruining someone's fucking life
When I was just a baby
My mama told me, 'Son
Always be a good boy
Don't ever play with guns'"
He dropped the pistol in my lap
And then he ran into the street yelling
"Police! That man just killed someone
And now he's after me!"
I threw the gun like it was burning through my flesh and bone
I took off, and I ran
And that's the way the story goes
They say all kinds of cliches here
Like what happens here stays here
I know that don't happen here in Reno
Ducked down, bobbing and weaving
Through the shadows between
The street lamps and pedestrians staring at me
While sirens drove by
I lifted up my hood
Had to get to Mariana's before the man in black could
I knocked on the door, but it hadn't been closed
I kicked it open so my fingerprints weren't exposed
Sprawled across the floor with a knife in her chest
I was late and out of breath
My instincts took care of the rest
I called the paramedics, left the phone off the hook
I took off, and I ran
And that's exactly how it looked
They say all kinds of cliches here
Like what happens here stays here
I know that don't happen here in Reno
They say all kinds of cliches here
Like what happens here stays here
I know that don't happen here in Reno
