I've considered suicide
But there's really no point, after all there's only one of me
Come on baby, let's take a ride
Let's get out of this joint there's another place we ought to be
These days everyone's going insane
But I'd rather not go 'cause I've already been there
Don't need to feel that much pain
So I'm taking it slow medication don't agree with me

I've had a talk with the dogs of war
Now it's never too clear when they tell me what it's all about
Heard a hint of what's in store
So I'm living in fear but the future seems to be in doubt
My friends all buy small arms,
And they sell they sell them with style 'cause there's always a rebate
Mercenary boys got plenty of charm
But slaughter with a smile is a service I can do without

Take me downtown, take me 'round the block
Take me anywhere, long as it's somewhere
Show me how to begin 'cause I know that
This game goes to beginners only

Thought I had a date with Lili Marlene
But I got stood up, now I guess she's never gonna show
Sitting in the car in the driving rain
Feeling so fed up with the music on the radio
These days everyone's knocking romance
And it seems out of place in a town with a club scene
But I'd rather do more than dance
If I could find one face that I thought I'd like to get to know

Take me downtown, take me 'round the block
Take me anywhere, long as it's somewhere
Show me how to begin 'cause I know that
This game goes to beginners only
To beginners only
To beginners only
To beginners only

I've considered suicide
But I've given it up, better leave it for another day
Spillin my guts on the three by five
Gonna light them on fire, gonna watch them till they blow away
Been living on borrowed time
Just like every one else in the whole bloody pawn shop
I'll figure out how to make it mine
Then you better watch out 'cause the usury is gonna stop
Stop!
