BLONDIE - Under The Gun Album: No exit (1999) [Intro]     [Verse 1] I still can picture him  his hands in his back pockets. He wasn’t much for words but when the wise kids made a racket he’d just have to go downtown. Throw his weight around   before starting over. [Verse 2] Say: "Did you hear I’ve got a band?  Some guys I know from L.A." We’ll I own the Rio Grande.  I’ll pay you back next Friday. You know it sure isn’t big   just some cats I dig.  They said they’d do the gig" [Chorus] Oh Desperado   why don’t you spend your life   in Colorado? Oh restless shadow   out in the blue hills   you’re feeling hollow. [Chorus] Oh El Diablo   why did you spend your life   in California? I should have warned you.  No place to go now   but falling over.          [Interlude]      Some hands can’t makе it on the run            under the gun.     Not for thе younger Oh Jack Daniels I feel your hunger         [Verse 3] I know you did your best  but you thought that you did not I wish that I had known  before I heard the last shot You know it’s not a sin that little badge of tin. Just a momento. [Verse 4] So sad you loved in vain.  My comrades lost in battle The music wars are done   from London to Seattle. We all pay to play  and all our yesterdays  are starting over. [Chorus] Oh Desperado   why don’t you spend your life   in Colorado? Oh restless shadow   out in the blue hills   you’re feeling hollow. [Chorus] Oh El Diablo   why did you spend your life   in California? I should have warned you.  No place to go now   but falling over. [Hook] [Outro] Ready to die.        Now he’s ready to die.
