Lyrics
1:09Me and my partner we work on the run
1:23The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung
1:27Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job
1:42One lost his liquor and the other lost his hand
2:34Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
2:43But nothin' saw nothin' just smell the stink
3:05Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
3:12Four forgotten and the rest just won't come
3:20When you've begun to think like a gun
3:29The rest of the year has already gone
3:31When you've begun to think like a gun
3:32The days of the year have suddenly gone
3:39Well
3:39Blood on the windows and blood on the walls
3:42Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
3:50And the papers keep downing on everything I burned
3:59And the people getting restless but they'll never learn
4:06I picked up a doctor he's good with a knife
4:10Says anesthetic's a waste of his time
4:19Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
4:29Knows they won't be back for a long long time
4:31Top of the staircase was ready to fall
4:36We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
4:40Watch out for big mama she'll set you on fire
4:45Or go for your neck with the chicken wire
5:03When you've begun to think like a gun
5:11The days of the year have suddenly gone
5:21Once you've begun to think like a gun
5:30The days of the year have already gone
8:57Mother of plenty mother of none
9:12You've got me cornered and still on the run
9:23I don't care nothing about you anyway
9:29Stuck in this hole I'm on my way
9:59Yeah when you've begun to live like a gun
10:03The days of the year have already gone
10:23When you've begun to think like a gun
10:47The days of the year have suddenly gone
Me and my partner we work on the run The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job One lost his liquor and the other lost his hand Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink But nothin' saw nothin' just smell the stink Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one Four forgotten and the rest just won't come When you've begun to think like a gun The rest of the year has already gone When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone Well Blood on the windows and blood on the walls Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls And the papers keep downing on everything I burned And the people getting restless but they'll never learn I picked up a doctor he's good with a knife Says anesthetic's a waste of his time Works in a hurry but always worthwhile Knows they won't be back for a long long time Top of the staircase was ready to fall We were still waiting downstairs in the hall Watch out for big mama she'll set you on fire Or go for your neck with the chicken wire When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone Once you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have already gone Mother of plenty mother of none You've got me cornered and still on the run I don't care nothing about you anyway Stuck in this hole I'm on my way Yeah when you've begun to live like a gun The days of the year have already gone When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone
