A Hired Gun

from Pretty Pretty by Sleepwalk A Robot

lyrics

A rollercoaster that you wanna ride
I’m the most surprised of anyone
You’re getting closer, but don’t run and hide
You might convince yourself you’re having fun
But only if you’re not scared at all

(Hey! Hey!)

Look at you, out of touch, standing in the mirror
You don’t want to go but you can’t stay here
Uh oh, now you’re stripped right down to the bone.

You are the poster for how to survive
When every friend you’ve got’s a hired gun
You make the most of being alive
Without a single tie to anyone
So tell me what are you looking for
Do you know what you’re looking for?

Look at you, out of touch, standing in the mirror
You don’t wanna go but you can’t stay here
Uh oh, now you’re stripped right down to the bone
Look at you, out of touch, lonely by yourself
You just want to be alone with someone else
But you’re doing better on your own
