I was all alone with the scent of a bone and my heart was stuck in this emptiness zone.
I had not a care, though i wanted to hear the voice of a maiden who was playing down there...
At the rifle range, i lost my heart.
At the rifle range, i could not start.
At the rifle range, she left me so hot!
At the rifle range.
Like a victim of truce i was strung on a noose cracking at the news of a prey let loose.
I turned around to stare at the face she would wear and i ran through the gallows, her heart was down there.
At the rifle range, i lost my heart.
At the rifle range, i could not start.
At the rifle range, i heard a shot!
At the rifle range.
If i lose my head, we'll be certainly dead, with visions of acid, how i wish they bled.
The drummings of fear cause they're getting so near and i think of a lion who was devoured down there.
Yeah yeah yeah! at the rifle range, i lost my heart.
At the rifle range, i could not start.
At the rifle range, i heard a shot.
At the rifle range, she left me so hot!
At the rifle range, bang bang!
At the rifle range, bang bang!
At the rifle range, bang bang!

Now i know but i don't care.
Then i know but i don't see.
Now i see but i don't know.
I care but i don't care.
I could but i won't be.
You can but not with me.
It's all a mystery.
Locked out without a key.
Now i care but i don't care.
And i know but i don't see.
Now i see but i don't know.
I know but i don't know.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
He don't do the wild things that he did before.

(ooh)
He used to act bad.
Used to, but he quit it.
It makes me so sad, 'cause i know that he did it for me (and i can see) and i can see (still in the street) his heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don't comb his hair like he did before.
He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more.

There's something 'bout his kisses... that tells me he's changed.
I know there's something missing inside.
(tell me more)
Something died.
(still in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the streets.

He grew up on the sidewalk, streetlights shining above.
He grew up with no one to love.

He grew up on the sidewalk, he grew up running free.
He grew up and then he met me.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.
Gee, he doesn't smile like he did before.

(ooh)
I wish i didn't care.
I wish i'd never met him.

They're waiting out there, so i got to set him free.
(send him back)
He's gotta be...
(out in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the street.

He don't hang around with the gang no more.

Open your eyes and you will see it still looks like the same thing.
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast for sleep.
Close your eyes and you will see the sound-a-sleep.
I want to go, i want to go, i want to go down to go to sleep.
Your frame of reference is my swimming pool.
My, my swimming pool still looks like the china sea.
Pool to sea and finally the sound-a-sleep.
Feel the muscles in your face twitch, relax, remembering everything that went down and will go down.
I want to go down to sleep.
Insomnia, no sleep disease, petties parking, feed me please.
Lie and wait for sleep and listen to your heart beat too fast for sleep.

Deteriorate in your own time.
Tell 'em you're dead and wither away.
Are ya living alone or with your family?
A dried up twig on your family tree?

So, die young and stay pretty.
Leave only the best behind.
Slipping sensibilities.
Tragedy in your own dream.
Oh, ya sit all alone in your rocking chair, transistor pressed against an ear.
Were ya waiting at the bus stop all your life?
Or just to die by the hand of love?
Love for youth, love for youth.
So live fast 'cause it won't last.
