Lyrics: alice sings the verses slightly out of time. listen to the song.
you'll see what i mean
I'm a gambler and I'm a runner
but you knew that when
you layed down
I'm a picture of
ugly stories
I'm a killer and
I'm a clown
Step into the street by sundown
step into your last goodbye
You're a target just by living
twenty dollars will make you die
I wear lace and I
wear black leather
my hands are lightning
upon my gun
My shots are clean and
my shots are final
my shots are deadly
and when it's done
You're as stiff as my smoking barrel
you're as dead as a desert night
You're a notch and I'm a legend
you're at peace and I must hide
Tell me where the hell I'm going
let my bones fall in the dust
Can't you hear that ghost that's calling
as my colt begins to rust
in the dust
I'm a killer
I'm a clown
I'm a priest that's
gone to town
k, bye
