Rifle Range

I was all alone, with a 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, She left me so hot
At the rifle rang, I heard a shot
At the rifle range, Bang Bang
At the rifle range, Bang Bang
At the rifle range, Bang Bang
