Song | Point Blank |
Artist | Bruce Springsteen |
Album | The River |
Lyrics:Bruce Springsteen Music:Bruce Springsteen | |
Do you still say your prayers little darlin' | |
do you go to bed at night | |
Prayin' that tomorrow, everything will be alright | |
But tommorow's fall in number | |
in number one by one | |
You wake up and you're dying | |
you don't even know what from | |
Well they shot you point blank | |
you been shot in the back | |
Baby point blank you been fooled this time | |
little girl that's a fact | |
Right between the eyes, baby, point blank | |
right between the pretty lies that they tell | |
Little girl you fell | |
You grew up where young girls they grow up fast | |
You took what you were handed and left behind what was asked | |
but what they asked baby wasn't right | |
you didn't have to live that life, | |
I was gonna be your Romeo you were gonna be my Juliet | |
These days you don't wait on Romeo's | |
you wait on that welfare check | |
and on all the pretty things that you can't ever have | |
and on all the promises | |
That always end up point blank, shot between the eyes | |
Point blank like little white lies you tell to ease the pain | |
You're walkin' in the sights, girl of point blank | |
and it's one false move and baby the lights go out | |
Once I dreamed we were together again | |
baby you and me | |
Back home in those old clubs the way we used to be | |
We were standin' at the bar | |
it was hard to hear | |
The band was playin' loud and you were shoutin' somethin' in my ear | |
You pulled my jacket off and as the drummer counted four | |
You grabbed my hand and pulled me out on the floor | |
You just stood there and held me, then you started dancin' slow | |
And as I pulled you tighter I swore I'd never let you go | |
Well I saw you last night down on the avenue | |
Your face was in the shadows but I knew that it was you | |
You were standin' in the doorway out of the rain | |
You didn't answer when I called out your name | |
You just turned, and then you looked away | |
like just another stranger waitin' to get blown away | |
Point blank, right between the eyes | |
Point blank, right between the pretty lies you fell | |
Point blank, shot right through the heart | |
Yea point blank, you've been twisted up till you've become just another part of it | |
Point blank, you're walkin' in the sights | |
Point blank, livin' one false move just one false move away | |
Point blank, they caught you in their sights | |
Point blank, did you forget how to love, | |
girl, did you forget how to fight. | |
Point blank they must have shot you in the head | |
Cause point blank | |
bang bang baby you're dead. |
