Gun John Cale

[Verse 1]
Me and my partner, we work on a run
The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung
Now it's you that got wasted tonight on a job
One lost his liquor and the other lost his hand

[Verse 2]
But ten sticky thumbprints on the door and the sink
But nothin' saw nothin', just smell the stink
Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one
Four forgotten and the rest just won't come

[Chorus]
When you've begun to think like a gun
The rest of the year has already gone
Well, when you've begun to think like a gun
The days of the year have suddenly gone

[Verse 3]
Well, blood on the windows and blood on the walls
Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls
All the papers keep downing on everything I burned
And the people getting restless, but they'll never learn

[Verse 4]
I picked up a doctor, he's good with a knife
Says anesthetic's a waste of his time
Works in a hurry, but always worthwhile
Knows they won't be back for a long long time
