Year: 2006
There are things that I will do for a hatchet job too
Ante up, there?s a new kid in town
But it won?t take long for what?s red hot and blonde
To be ashes on the ground
The Manhattan skyline, a bed and a byline
Well, I?ve come and I?ve cradled your face
And I won?t be the last one to commit crimes of passion
With a shoot-out and a chase
Over and over and over and over
I?m beckoning, begging and I keep hanging on
Going once, going twice, mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I'm gone, and I'm gone, and I'm gone
Well, nothing has changed since the last time I came
Got my pride and my hat in my hand
And I never sleep well and I still kiss and tell
And I do not pay the band
Over and over and over and over
I?m beckoning, begging, I keep hanging on
Going once, going twice, mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I'm gone, I'm gone, I'm gone
And I'm gone, and I'm gone, I'm gone
