Point Blank
Do you still say your prayers little darling, do you go to bed at nightPraying that tomorrow everything will be alrightBut tommorow's fall in number, in number one by oneYou wake up and you're dying, you don't even know what from
Well, they shot you point blankYou been shot in the back, baby, point blankYou been fooled this time, little girl, that's a factRight between the eyes, baby, point blankRight between the pretty lies that they tell
Little girl you fell
You grew up where young girls they grow up fastYou took what you were handed and left behind what was askedBut what they asked baby wasn't rightYou didn't have to live that lifeAnd I was gonna be your Romeo, you were gonna be my JulietThese days you don't wait on Romeos, you wait on that welfare checkAnd on all the pretty things that you can't ever haveAnd on all the promises
That always end up point blankShot between the eyes, whoa, point blankLike little white lies you tell to ease the painYou're walking in the sights, girl, of point blankAnd it's one false move and, baby, the lights go out
Once I dreamed we were together again, baby, you and meBack home in those old clubs the way we used to beWe were standing at the bar, it was hard to hearThe band was playing loud and you were shouting something in my earYou pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted fourYou grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floorYou just stood there and held me and you started dancing slowAnd as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you goWell I saw you last night down on the avenueYour face was in the shadows but I knew that it was youYou were standing in the doorway out of the rainYou didn't answer when I called out your nameYou just turned and then you looked awayLike just another stranger waiting to get blown away
Point blank, right between the eyesWhoa, point blank, right between the pretty lies you fellPoint blank, you been shot right through the heartYeah, point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of itPoint blank, you're walking in the sightsPoint blank, living one false move, just one false move awayThey caught you in their sightsPoint blank, did you forget how to love, girl, did you forget how to fight.They must have shot you in the head'Cause point blank, bang bang, baby you're dead
