Longshot Songtext
von Antigone Rising

You made the call
I watched the door to see you coming through
And everytime it was a cool september wind that blew
Then on the air that drifted in
The faded smell of denial
See, I don′t know so I don't ask
I think it best that way
Can′t be held responsible for what you didn't say
So let's pretend that I′m not me and it′s not you
For a while

This cigarette I'm pullin′ on
That second pint that's nearly gone
This hand that′s sliding down my leg


If there's one right thing you′ve gotta do
Don't do it tonight
And for once enjoy the view
Just out of the light
If there's one last kiss we′re gonna have
Let′s have it tomorrow
It's a longshot
But a chance I′ve gotta take

It's fair to mention from the first
That when you touched me there
You′re starting something that i'll finish
So just be aware
And if you mention one more time we could be soulmates
I′ll die
It's easy now when I look back
They call that retrospect
If i had known that night would have such a ripple effect
Might have been more likely just to let that sleeping dog
Lie

This tv set we're deuling on
My fighting words are nearly gone
There′s something sliding down my leg


If there′s one right thing you've gotta do
Don′t do it tonight
And for once enjoy the view
Just out of the light
If there's one last kiss we′re gonna have
Let's have it tomorrow
It′s a longshot
But a chance I've gotta take

I foresaw the day when you would come and make it clear
Some things do better where you found them
So we'll leave it here
I′m only crying cause this cloud of smoke is burning
My eyes
And ever since
The times when I am standing close to you
I see the person that you are
The one i never knew
Do you ever feel me anymore
Or are you too high
All the time

Ready get set
Here we go
What′s been going on
I don't know
I don′t know
I don't know
I′m standing tall on my last leg

If there's one right thing you′ve gotta do
Don't do it tonight
And for once enjoy the view
Step out of the light
And i will too
If there's one last kiss we′re gonna have
Can we have it tomorrow
Please
It′s a longshot
From world away
In a time slot
On a passing day
You're a longshot
But chance i′ve gotta take
I've gotta take
I′ve gotta take
