Desperado

Alice Cooper

I'm a gambler 
And I'm a runner 
But you knew that 
When you lay down 

I'm a picture 
Of ugly stories 
I'm a killer 
And I'm a clown 

Step into the street by sundown 
Step into your last goodbye 
You're a target just by living 
Twenty dollars will make you die 

I wear lace 
And I wear black leather 
My hands are lightning upon my gun 

My shots are clean 
And my, my shots are final 
My shots are deadly 
And when it's done 

You're as stiff as my smoking barrel 
You're as dead as a desert night 
You're a notch 
And I'm a legend 
You're at peace 
And I must hide 

Tell me where the hell I'm going 
Let my bones fall in the dust 
Can't you hear that ghost that's calling 
As my Colt begins to rust 
In the dust 

I'm a killer 
I'm a clown 
I'm a priest 
That's gone to town
