Play it low in the pocket

Something's just gotta break

You've been waiting so long for success

It's a shame it's gonna come too late



Baby, fly like a rocket

Shoot it out in stages from the mother ship

It's too bad you gotta lose what you had

And when you cruise

You gotta shoot it from the hip

Or you give 'em all the slip



And it's too bad

Hear they got you shootin' with a crooked cue

Hmm, somebody really got it in for you

When the night runs down all over town

And everybody's lost control

Get ready to roll

Get ready to roll



Play it high on the hip

Something's just got to give

Hold that .38 ready 'til she really looks steady

Then just let her rip



Put some powder in your eyes

Just before that contact's made

How it must hurt to pervert

What the curtain can't hide

From that fire in your eyes

But is it really a surprise?



And it's too bad

Hear they got you shootin' with a crooked cue

Hmm, somebody really got it in for you

When the night runs down all over town

And everybody's lost control

Get ready to roll

Get ready to roll
