Under the Gun

Two worlds apart
Two together
Into that goodnight kiss away
One takes the heart
One the other
Kiss away

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
I've been under the gun
I've lost and I've won

You feel your head is full of thunder
The questions never end
Empty nights alone, no wonder
It all comes back again

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
When the road gets too tough
Is your love strong enough

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
I've been under the gun
I've lost and I've won (two, three)

Forget the many steps to heaven
It never happened and it ainât so hard
Happiness is a loaded weapon and a
Short cut is better by far
Explosive bolts ten thousand volts at a
Million miles an hour
Abrasive wheels and molten metals, itâs
Semi-automatic, get in the car
Corrosive heart and frozen heat, weâre
Worlds apart where we could meet
Where the streets fold round and the
Motors start and the idiot wields the power
Where the chosen hold the highest card, on the
Field of honour where the ground is hard, so the
Highest hand is joking wild and the
House soon fold and no-one stand!
Put my finger on and dialed the tower the moon the gun
And nine nine nine, singer down, cloudburst and all around
The first are last, the blessed get wired, the best is yet to come
I put my finger on and fired, heat-seeking, out of the sun
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees and the
Meekâll inherit what they damn well please
Get ahead go figure go ahead and pull the trigger
Everything under the gun
