Sidewinder
Allison is counting
She's got one shift to go and then she's running
She says oooh, I've seen harder times
She says oooh, I've seen harder times
As it all starts crumbling they say
The young will survive there's no sense in struggling
They say oooh, time is on our side
They say oooh, time is on our side
And she says to them
I can't win if you won't play for keeps
Promises from sidewinders don't mean a thing
With all their lies
Lights out in the city
And there's no end in sight and nobody's busy
And the people sing oooh, voices in the night
And the people cry oooh, raise your arms and fight
And we say to them
Who can win if you're all playing king?
All these words from sidewinders won't change a thing
Not in our times
Oooh, one fine day
But I can't win if you won't play for keeps
Promises from sidewinders don't mean a thing
Not this time
So go ahead and pretend you've never broken wings
But scorpions and sidewinders always leave a sting
With all their lies
She's got one shift to go and then she's running
She says oooh, I've seen harder times
She says oooh, I've seen harder times
As it all starts crumbling they say
The young will survive there's no sense in struggling
They say oooh, time is on our side
They say oooh, time is on our side
And she says to them
I can't win if you won't play for keeps
Promises from sidewinders don't mean a thing
With all their lies
Lights out in the city
And there's no end in sight and nobody's busy
And the people sing oooh, voices in the night
And the people cry oooh, raise your arms and fight
And we say to them
Who can win if you're all playing king?
All these words from sidewinders won't change a thing
Not in our times
Oooh, one fine day
But I can't win if you won't play for keeps
Promises from sidewinders don't mean a thing
Not this time
So go ahead and pretend you've never broken wings
But scorpions and sidewinders always leave a sting
With all their lies
