Wake up it's monday afternoon
We're still in bed
Oh what to do?
You call your friends but can't get through
And i write songs
To sing for you
Sometimes we're stuck
Most times we're drifting
Most times we're drifting
But tonight let's move
Think fast we're young
Remember when the spotlight cracks
We're dancing with a gun
Your hands will shake
Just take another shot in the dark
Don't keep your safety on
Fast as it comes it's gone
But we're not through dancing
Dancing with a gun
It's five o'clock the sidewalks fill
A world so ready
To break our will
You stand surrounded quite a crowd
Your eyes protecting
A scream so loud
Some looks could kill but yours they shout
Come on let's shout
Think fast we're young
Remember when the spotlight cracks
We're dancing with a gun
Your hands will shake
Just take another shot in the dark
Don't keep your safety on
Fast as it comes it's gone
But we're not through dancing
Dancing with a gun
You got to think fast
Think fast we're young
Remember when the spotlight cracks
You're dancing with a gun
Your hands are shaking
Just take another shot in the dark
A shot in the dark now
Think fast we're young
Remember when the spotlight cracks
We're dancing with a gun
Your hands will shake
Just take another shot in the dark
Don't keep your safety on
Fast as it comes it's gone
But we're not through dancing
Dancing with a gun
