LOVE IS A LOADED PISTOL

BILLIE CREPT SOFTLY
INTO MY WAKING ARMS
STRANGE FRUIT
FOR A SWEET HUNK OF TRASH

PANIC AT THE STAGE DOOR
OF CARNEGIE HALL
FAMOUS JAZZ SINGER
GONE AWOL
STILL LEFT THE BUILDING
BODY AND SOUL

ON A CREAKY PIANO STOOL TONIGHT
AS THE MOON IS MY ONLY WITNESS
SHE WAS BREATHING
INTO MY EAR:
"THIS TIME IT'S LOVE"

BUT
LOVE IS A LOADED PISTOL
AND BY DAYBREAK
SHE'S GONE
OVER THE FROZEN RIVER
HOME
ME AND JOHHNY WALKER
SEE IN THE NEW AGE
ALONE

STORMY WEATHER
ACROSS THE MOON TONIGHT
BILLIE,
TIME IS A WILY TRICKSTER
STILL
AN ECHO IN MY HEART
SAYS
"THIS TIME, IT'S LOVE"....
