Lyrics Standing in the Line of Fire - Black Star Riders

Standing in the Line of Fire

I’ll take another shot of whiskey
On second thoughts you better make it two
I’ve got a lot on my mind today
And we’ve got a lot of drinking to do
So long live life, love and retribution
Long live life, love and revolution
Rock, paper, scissors and dynamite
When everything’s starting to feel alright
I’m better off alone than in bad company
Why can’t you take the hint?
Why can’t you let me be?
I’m losing control, I’ve got no desire
Out in the open, standing in the line of fire
Standing in the line of fire
I’m a simple man
With a complicated life
I fell in love with a switchblade
She’s a hell of a knife
Never in question, never in doubt
Don’t give up on something you can’t live without
Everyone’s got a little blood in this mess
When you win say nothing, when you lose say less
I’m better off alone than in bad company
Why can’t you take the hint?
Why can’t you let me be?
I’m losing control, I’ve got no desire
Out in the open, standing in the line of fire
So long live life, love and retribution
Long live life, love and revolution
Rock, paper, scissors and dynamite
When everything’s starting to feel alright
I’m not asking for mercy, I’m not asking for time
Sometimes I ask myself am I the last of my kind?
I’m losing control, I got no desire
Out in the open, standing in the line of fire
Standing in the line of fire
Standing in the line of fire
