One Shot
We're firing blanks at one another
Shooting rounds into the sun
Using cartridge after cartridge
No safety trigger to turn on And we can't see where we're aiming
And who we're aiming at
We might be hitting one another
Or ourselves or our lovers
Or the empty s***e above
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got one
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
But you only got one shot
She's standing naked looking at him
Shoot an apple off her head
It's only his strange strange way
Of trying to get her into bed
He says we tried to play a game but
Clearly you had all the cards
I thought we had an understanding
We'd do nothing underhand, overhard
Or overplanned
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got one
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
But you only got one shot
So use it well, my little baby
Use it well, my little one
Cos the first day that you know it
You'll look back and you'll be gone
So I'll be polishing the barrel
Just to hand it down to you
I wouldn't say you had to use it
But it'll be there if you choose it
Life's short and so confused
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got one
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
But you only got one shot
We're firing blanks at one another
Shooting rounds into the sun
Using cartridge after cartridge
No safety trigger to turn on And we can't see where we're aiming
And who we're aiming at
We might be hitting one another
Or ourselves or our lovers
Or the empty s***e above
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got one
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
But you only got one shot
She's standing naked looking at him
Shoot an apple off her head
It's only his strange strange way
Of trying to get her into bed
He says we tried to play a game but
Clearly you had all the cards
I thought we had an understanding
We'd do nothing underhand, overhard

Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got one
Everyone's got a gun, Everyone's got a gun
