"Shot In The Dark" lyrics

"Shot In The Dark"

Everyday it's the same old situation
I face the same old line of empty faces
Sit at my desk while the clock counts up my wages
Pick up my pay every Friday
And take off like a shot in the dark

I took off like a shot in the dark
I split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
'Cause I'm off like a shot in the dark

It was only a game when we first started
The novelty wore away and the fun departed
I can't live up anymore to those things I spouted
And if you say you feel the same way
I'll be off like a shot in the dark

I took off like a shot in the dark
I split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
'Cause I'm off like a shot in the dark

There's no changes going down
There's no lesson to be found
Makes no sense to hang around
If that's all there is to that
That's what she said

Someone just tossed a bomb
Through the kitchen window
And in the middle of a shoo-fly pie
Mama took off like a bat out of hell

She took off like a shot in the dark
She split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark

'Cause she's off like a shot in the dark
I took off like a shot in the dark
I split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
'Cause I'm off like a shot in the dark
We took off like a shot in the dark
We split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
Thunder off like a shot in the dark
They took off like a shot in the dark
We split the scene like a shot in the dark...
