Annie Oakley

There's no such thing as trust
If you break it
There's no such thing as love
If you fake it
There's nothing left for us
If you gamble what we own
Influenced by conviction
You've grown bored with what you've sewn
You've grown bored with what you've sewn

And the poison's creeping in
Working steady, working slow
Behind those quiet eyes she's reflecting
A pain that's predisposed
Words unspoken till they're known
Words kept silent till they're known

So go on Annie Oakley
Pull the trigger I'm gone
Let's not drag this dead horse
Through the snow and the fog
You're a dangerous girl
To have loved for so long
When I turn my back
Go on and finish the job
O go on
Go on and finish the job

There ain't no trace of hope
If you erase it
Take me to the gallows
If you can't save me
Leave me out like carrion
A feast for all your crows
Misguided by her whispers
Was I meant to be disposed
I was meant to be disposed

So go on Annie Oakley
Pull the trigger I'm gone
Let's not drag this dead horse
Through the snow and the fog
You're a dangerous girl
To have loved for so long
When I turn my back
Go on and finish the job
O go on
Go on and finish the job

There's a faceless moon that's guiding the boat
Black water stretching for miles I'm told
Splintered hands with wooden paddles
That hurriedly row
Across the river as wide as the Nile
I chose to go back to my mother
And the clothes I've outgrown
To the clothes I've outgrown

So go on Annie Oakley
Pull the trigger I'm gone
Let's not drag this dead horse
Through the snow and the fog
You're a dangerous girl
To have loved for so long
When I turn my back
Go on and finish the job
O go on
Go on and finish the job
