Dead Reckoning

(album: Ratt - 1983)

You know you're living a lie
When you just can't win
Pulling in first prize
Ain't gonna give you a break
You know I'm kickin back
I had a broken wing
Me and my shadow are the next best thing
I need someone
You know it might take
More than you give to me

Are you gun-shy are you listening
What we've got here is dead reckoning

Take me in for the night
In the right time zone
Well do what you like
Make a left turn home
I put out the light
You're turnin way too red
No stop sign straight up ahead
You need so much, so much sympathy
That's more than I can say
You know it's not too late

Are you gun-shy are you listening
What we've got here is dead reckoning
And if it feels good we'll do it again
See your way clear
Dead reckoning
Tell me why
Tell me why
Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening
Are you listening

You mean so much
So much to me
That's more than I can say, you know it's not too late
Are you gun-shy are you listening
What we've got here is dead reckoning
And if it feels good we'll do it again
See your way clear
Dead reckoning
What we got here is
Dead reckoning
Dead reckoning
