You know you're livin' a lie when you just can't win

Pulling in first prize ain't gonna give you a break

You know I'm kickin' back, I had a broken wing

Me and my shadow are the next best thing

I need someone

You know it might take more than you give to me



Are you gun-shy, are you listening?

What we got here is dead reckoning



And take me in for the night in the right time zone

We'll do what you like, make a left turn home

I put out the light, you're turnin' way too red

No stop sign straight up ahead



You need so much

So much sympathy

That's more than I can say

You know it's not too late



Are you gun-shy, are you listening?

What we got here is dead reckoning

And if it feels good, we'll do it again

See your way clear, dead reckoning



Tell me why, tell me why

Are you listening?

Are you listening?

Are you listening?

Are you listening?



You mean so much

So much to me

That's more than I can say

You know it's not too late



Are you gun-shy, are you listening?

What we got here is dead reckoning

And if it feels good, we'll do it again

See your way clear, dead reckoning, yeah

What we got here is dead reckoning

What we got here is dead reckoning
