(album: How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last? - 2021)

To tell the truth darling I'd have to lead a coup
Past the platitudes, right past the dotted rules
I paid attention, I paid my dues
Now that I know a thing or two
I say thank you

Would you stare eyes open if I ever came 'round with the golden gun?
Would you ever light up with somebody like me? (Looked like my son, he looked like a sun)
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came round with the golden gun? (On my back, felt like it)
Would you ever lay down with somebody like me?
(On my back, felt like it)

It really wasn't a fall
It was nothing at all
All that they came in proving
Well they sure was zooming
I have to cast up, a big wet net through
Now that I ask after you, I've gotta pass through now

Would you stare eyes open if I ever came 'round with the golden gun?
Would you ever light up with somebody? (To tell the truth)
Would you come right over with the crown royal if I said run, run, run (I'd have to lead a coup, past the platitudes)
Would you ever lay down with somebody like me? (Right past the dotted rules)
Would you stare eyes open if I ever came 'round with the golden gun? (I paid attention, I paid my dues, I gotta ask you)
Would you ever light up with somebody like me?
(Do you say thank you?)

Looked like my son (I say thank you)
He looked like a sun (I say thank you, I say thank you)
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Looked like my son (I say thank you, I say thank you)
He looked like a sun (I say thank you, I say thank you)
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
On my back (I say thank you)
Felt like it (I say thank you, I say thank you)
On my back (I say thank you, I say thank you)
Felt like it (I say thank you)
