Then I became a singer It's strange to think about I wanted to be heard, when you get down to it There ain't no money in that Then I became a stranger Living with this gun I was afraid I would never grow old Temptation wore me down ♪ Watching the wires Setting fires I hate to run, but I'm a gun for hire Gimme one good reason "Do it for the feeling" I know what you say, but Had to learn it the hard way ♪ Oh, the running was murder Baby, they were right I drew a card that was full of swords I never said I loved the light So I did run like a river Either that or blow my mind Mama was afraid I would never grow old I was afraid that I might ♪ Watching the wires Setting fires I hate to run but I'm a gun for fire Gimme one good reason? "Do it for the feeling" I know what you say but Had to learn it the hard way ♪ Maybe in the next lifetime Maybe in the next frame Maybe in the next valley Somebody knows me
