Lyrics Gun - Siouxsie And The Banshees

Gun

Me and my partner we work on the run
The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung
Now it’s you that got wasted tonight on the job
One lost his liquor and the other lost his hand
But ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin', just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won’t come
When you’ve begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
Well when you’ve begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Well blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
All the papers keep downing on everything I burned
And the people getting restless but they’ll never learn
I picked up a doctor, he’s good with a knife
Says anesthetic’s a waste of his time
Works in a hurry but always worthwhile
Knows they won’t be back for a long long time
Top of the staircase was ready to fall
We were still waiting downstairs in the hall
Well watch out for big mama, she’ll set you on fire
Or go for your neck with the chicken wire
Yeah when you’ve begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
Once you’ve begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
Mother of plenty, mother of none
You’ve got me cornered and still on the run
I don’t care nothing about you anyway
Stuck in this hole I’m well on my way
Yeah when you’ve begun to live like a gun
The days of the year have already gone
Now when you’ve begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone
