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
