Where they're downing only deer

A hundred steel    towns away.

Rolling off my tongue.

No, never will I roam,

I'll be sailing.

Light it up, light it up.

I can still feel the touch

Of your thin blue jeans.

Running down the alley, I've got

My eyes all over you, baby. Oh, baby.

Of a slot machine.

I'm just yanking back the handle,

No expression on my face.
