Me and my partner we work on the run The quick try to get quicker and the creepers get hung Now it's you that got wasted tonight on the job One lost his liquor and the other lost his hand Ten sticky thumb prints on the door and the sink But nothin' saw nothin', just smell the stink Five hundred mugshots and a hundred to one Four forgotten and the rest just won't come When you've begun to think like a gun The rest of the year has already gone When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone (Well) Blood on the windows and blood on the walls Blood on the ceiling and down in the halls And the papers keep downing on everything I burned And the people getting restless but they'll never learn I picked up a doctor, he's good with a knife Says anesthetic's a waste of his time Works in a hurry but always worthwhile Knows they won't be back for a long long time Top of the staircase was ready to fall We were still waiting downstairs in the hall Watch out for big mama, she'll set you on fire Or go for your neck with the chicken wire When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone Once you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have already gone Mother of plenty, mother of none You've got me cornered and still on the run I don't care nothing about you anyway Stuck in this hole I'm on my way Yeah, when you've begun to live like a gun The days of the year have already gone When you've begun to think like a gun The days of the year have suddenly gone

I'll love you forever Cherry, will you love me too? Cherry, will you love me too?

Just below San Diego Tijuana land of broken dreams Senoritas dancing in the moonlight Flashing Spanish dark eyes Everyone, it seems They say, "Hey, gringo! Can you take us across the border Just tell them I'm your daughter Loco, loco" Down the backstreets Through the alleys All the young men Stand with pride They guard the palace To the kingdom Called Tijuana Their heritage they decide They say, "Hey, gringo! Can you take us across the border We'll work for just a quarter On the other side" They say, "Hey, gringo! Can you take us across the border We'll work for just a quarter On the other side"

How can you put me through these changes Why do you do me like you do It ain't no way I love-a-dee love nobody but you Let him go out and get with strangers Don't you turn my love to hate Ain't no man can love you like I can, and I do How can you put me through these changes Why do you do me like you do It ain't no way I love-a-dee love nobody but you How can you put me through these changes Why do you do me like you do
