POINT BLANK

19 Sep 1978 version

Well say your prayers little darling and go to bed tonight
And pray that tomorrow everything will be alright
But tomorrows fall in number, in number one by one
Wake up and you’re dying, you don’t even know what from
Baby they shot you point blank, they shot you in the back baby
Point blank, you’ve been fooled this time, little girl that’s a fact
They’ve got you in their sights, darling
Point blank, one false move and baby the lights go out

They fed you baby and they raised you and how well you learned
The little things that baby wants, baby has to earn
You work your hands to the bar
Until you go night
Did you find that all them pretty things you want
Well you can never have, they goy you
Point Blank, right between the eyes, darling
Point Blank, right between the pretty lies that they sell
Point blank, they shot you from behind, baby
Point Blank, you’ve been fooled again, baby this time

Day shift turns to night shifts
And the night shifts turn to day
And all your hopes and your promises
Somehow they just fade away
And they got you holding your number
And try to stay alive, but don’t you know
little darling, no-one survives, baby
No-one survives unhurt, no-one survives…

Hearts filled with anger and their eyes are tough with hate
You see them faces on the street, you turn your eyes away
But baby it’s too late.
Their voices call you, you see they wanted you
You’re caught and you just turn to stay and so
You stumble out into the morning
Lookin’ for your usual fix
But baby them old distractions
They don’t have the kicks they used to have
So you’re gonna pack your pistol
Go lookin’ for the one
But baby you’re caught in the middle
You don’t know where to aim your gun
Oh baby baby point blank
Right between the eyes, darling
Point blank, right between the pretty lies that they sell,
Point blank, you got’em in your sights, baby
Point blank, one false move and baby the lights go out
Point blank, right between the eyes,
Point blank, right between them pretty lies that they sell
Point blank, they got you in their sights, baby
Point blank, one false move and baby the lights go out
Point blank, they’ve got you in their sights, point blank
Point blank, one false move, and baby the lights go out
Point blank, they’ve got you in their sights, point blank
Point blank, one false move, and baby the lights go out……
