lyrics
LONE GUN
1/
I hide amongst the shipwrecks,
all the useless misfits,
they tell me of lost dreams,
what might have been.
Down there at Lone Gun
next to Rawhide
I watch that girl dance,
with the devil green eyes ...she got devil green eyes
2/
I got stingray boots
a madonna on my back..and she weeps
I got a wolf on my chest
I got gold in my teeth
There’s a switchblade in my pocket
right next to a little stash
but if you want a taste
it’s cold hard cash...cold hard cash
3/
I live on the wrong side of midnight
I live with my only friend, sin
Every night we go out dancing
on the head of a pin
I got a slippery neck
every time they go for the cord
every time they summon the lord
I just slip right through… I just slip right through
4/
If you see me on the horizon
a distant murder of crows
Best you move right over
to the other side of the road
I hide amongst the shipwrecks
All the broken misfits
they tell me of lost dreams
what might have been
...I don’t believe a word
I don’t believe a God damn word...
