Steady hands are something I've never known Trying hard as hell to hold my weapon straight But a shot in the dark is a shot in the dark Wherever the bullet hits, c'est le vie, that's fate Are you lurking in the shadows in the corner of my good eye? Waiting to catch the bullet on its flight Or do you have your back turned unaware That this little chance I'm taking might take your life? Steady hands are something I've never known Trying hard as hell to let these words ring out Like a shot in the dark, but still a shot in the dark Scared to scare you with what these words will be spoken aloud Will you ever eye me through the scope of my outstreched arms? Sometimes Eden ain't as great as it's made out And although the world is cold and bitter to you Just know for this moment you're all I dream about

Shot in the Dark
Steady hands are something I've never known Trying hard as hell to hold my weapon straight But a shot in the dark is a shot in the dark Wherever the bullet hits, c'est le vie, that's fate Are you lurking in the shadows in the corner of my good eye? Waiting to catch the bullet on its flight Or do you have your back turned unaware That this little chance I'm taking might take your life? Steady hands are something I've never known Trying hard as hell to let these words ring out Like a shot in the dark, but still a shot in the dark Scared to scare you with what these words will be spoken aloud Will you ever eye me through the scope of my outstreched arms? Sometimes Eden ain't as great as it's made out And although the world is cold and bitter to you Just know for this moment you're all I dream about
