I'm Gone

[Verse 1]

There are things I will do

For a hatchet job, too

Ante up, there's a new kid in town

But it won't take long

For what's red hot and blonde

To be ashes on the ground

[Verse 2]

The Manhattan skyline

A bed and a byline

But I've come and I've cradled your face

And I won't be the last one

To commit crimes of passion

With a shootout and a chase

[Chorus]

Mmm, over and over and over and over

I'm beckoning, begging

I keep hanging on

Going once, going twice

Mercy God, Jesus Christ

And I'm gone, and I'm gone, and I'm gone

[Verse 3]

Well, nothing has changed

Since the last time I came

Got my pride and my hat in my hand

And I never sleep well

And I still kiss and tell

And I do not pay the band

[Chorus]

Mmm, over and over and over and over

I'm beckoning, begging

I keep hanging on

Going once, going twice

Mercy God, Jesus Christ

And I'm gone, I'm gone

And I'm gone, and I'm gone, I'm gone
