"Before The Shooting Starts" lyrics

"Before The Shooting Starts"

All out of saints
And sinners tonight
Drop the curtain
Black out the light

In a town full of desperate hearts
Better leave before the shooting starts

All out of war paint and powder tonight
Ceasefire in the naked light
If you want justice in this world
You'll be waitin' for a miracle girl

Slow down the party's over
Time's leanin' on your shoulder

Bolt the windows and watch the coast
Chase the shadows and face the ghost
I'd wake you but I know you'd scream
[?]

In a town full of desperate hearts
Better leave before the shooting starts
In a town full of desperate hearts
Better leave before the shooting starts
...
