Lyrics: alice sings the verses slightly out of time. listen to the song.
 you'll see what i mean

I'm a gambler and I'm a runner 
but you knew that when 
you layed 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 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


k, bye
