Gunslinger Lyrics
Stay clean till' seventeen
No worry makes a fool of me
I never stay in line
Ooo in time
We're wide awake till' dawn
We found where we belong
My body pays the price
Try to take my life
But only get my spine
Yeah you try to take my life
But only get my spine
Please, oh please believe
In anything but me
Afraid to touch the skin
Defiant to the end
Open up your mouth
Say sing to me just right
Sing to me all night
Say sing to me just right
Sing to me all night
Please, oh please believe
In anything but me
So get lost
Or make your move
Yeah everyone's got better things to do
And they won't wait on you
Stay clean till' seventeen
No worry makes a fool of me
My body pays the price
Try to take my life
But only get my spine
Please, oh please believe
In anything but me
So get lost
Or make your move
Yeah everyone's got better things to do
And they won't wait on you
Ooo get lost,
Or get sold
Yeah everyone's got somewhere else to go
And they won't wait on you
No worry makes a fool of me
I never stay in line
Ooo in time
We found where we belong
My body pays the price
Try to take my life
But only get my spine
But only get my spine
In anything but me
Defiant to the end
Open up your mouth
Say sing to me just right
Sing to me all night
Sing to me all night
In anything but me
Or make your move
Yeah everyone's got better things to do
And they won't wait on you
No worry makes a fool of me
My body pays the price
Try to take my life
But only get my spine
In anything but me
Or make your move
Yeah everyone's got better things to do
And they won't wait on you
Ooo get lost,
Or get sold
Yeah everyone's got somewhere else to go
And they won't wait on you

Such a great song
This is a great song. I love the Graduate in general.
Is there anything behind the slightly similar lyrics of this song and "Sing"?
In "Sing", it's: "Please, oh please believe In anyone but me I'm somewhere in between Oh, who I am and who you need"
and in "Gunslinger", it's: "Please, oh please believe In anything but me"
And then again, in "Sing", it's: "I'll make it through the night Sing to me just right"
and in "Gunslinger", it's: "Say sing to me just right Sing to me all night"
I might be looking into it too much, but that really interested me.
We're wide awake till' dawn We found where we belong My body pays the price Try to take my life But only get my spine
We're wide awake till' dawn We found where we belong My body pays the price Try to take my life But only get my spine
