Shot In the Dark

Everyday it's the same old situation

I face the same old line of empty faces

Sit at my desk while the clock counts up my wages

Pick up my pay every Friday

And take off like a shot in the darkI took off like a shot in the dark

I split the scene like a shot in the dark

Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark

'Cause I'm off like a shot in the darkIt was only a game when we first started

The novelty wore away and the fun departed

I can't live up anymore to those things I spouted

And if you say you feel the same way

I'll be off like a shot in the darkI took off like a shot in the dark

I split the scene like a shot in the dark

Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark

'Cause I'm off like a shot in the darkThere's no changes going down

There's no lesson to be found

Makes no sense to hang around

If that's all there is to that

That's what she saidSomeone just tossed a bomb

Through kitchen window

And in the middle of a shoo-fly pie

Mama took off like a bat out of hellShe took off like a shot in the dark

She split the scene like a shot in the dark

Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark'Cause we took off like a shot in the dark

We'll be off like a shot in the dark

We'll split the scene like a shot in the dark

Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark'Cause we're off like a shot in the dark

We'll be off like a shot in the dark

We'll split the scene like a shot in the dark

Ain't got no target, don't aim for no markWe'll be off like a shot in the dark
