Sniper of the Heart |
| When you take a chance, romance is waiting for you |
| Lurking at the corner bar |
| Every soggy street, a lonely alley that means |
| You don’t have to search too far |
| Just check your shadow, kiddo |
| You know what you really are |
| Every false caress, a messy ending for |
| Someone who’d rather jump the gun |
| Every lonely heart beating like a lark |
| Waiting for the cover to be broken and the games begun |
| It’s tragic, magic |
| You know what you really will become |
| Sniper of the heart, you’ll be taken |
| Long before you learn to give |
| Sniper of the heart, someone’s waiting for you tonight |
| So guard your life |
| You may fall apart — all this waiting |
| Longing for the one who’s right |
| Guard your hero’s heart |
| You may own the night |
| Every passing face a racing shadow |
| In the marathon of lover’s lane |
| Strangers in the night. |
| Colliding bodies |
| When you’re blinded by the hidden flame |
| And every stranger’s danger |
| Wanderlust until you’re tamed |
| When you steal a kiss, the risk is greater |
| Than the given one you might have missed |
| Sneaking like a rat, quiet as a cat |
| Motion in the window there’s a shadow |
| And a silent hit |
| You check your shadow, kiddo |
| I know what you really want to risk |
| Stranger of the heart, you’ll be taken |
| Long before you learn to give |
| Sniper of the heart, I am waiting for you tonight |
| Guard your life |
| Sniper of the heart |
| Longing for the one who’s right |
| Sniper of the heart |
| You will own the night |
