All the kids are throwing sticks
Politics
Nights on the wire
Everybody wants to get by
'Ts a test of the times
A test of my rights
It's on pretty lady

Born to be angry
Grip of the vice
Click on the trigger, girl
Sip wine on ice

It's about time
Best to rewind
You better blow
Pistols, pistols, pistols

Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope

Don't go oh go
It's about time, it's about time

Everybody come on
Lights on the beaches
Everybody come on, delight

Close the front door
I don't wanna go
Like I'm on the Truman Show

Best to let go
You don't wanna know
You better blow

Pistols, pistols, pistols
Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope

Don't go oh go!
It's about time, it's about

All the years of paradise
Paradigms
Paralyze us
You're crazy

All the cards you've organized
Shuffled twice in front of my eyes
Everybody has
Needs, wants, a cold gun

Lights low
Go on baby go
It's a bad time
I'm on a tight rope

Don't go oh go!
It's about time, it's about
Pistols, pistols
