JIMMY DON'T GET YOUR GUN
 
I wake up at sunrise I watch you
you dance across the floor
no surprise waltz time
what I see’s a little hazy
but you’re a little crazy aren’t you
 
YOU’RE FREE JUST BEFORE THE SUN
PLEASE DON’T JIMMY DON’T GET YOUR GUN
BLACKBIRDS MAY FLY OVERHEAD
BUT EVEN THEY DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU DEAD
 
I’m the only crossfire you will need
you can try to cut my heart out but I won’t bleed
even in the fire your flaming sad newspaper
cannot hold the peace you try to conjure
 
YOU’RE FREE JUST BEFORE THE SUN
PLEASE DON’T JIMMY DON’T GET YOUR GUN
BLACKBIRDS MAY FLY OVERHEAD
BUT EVEN THEY DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU DEAD
 
even if you will
even if you won’t
 
I try to stop you but you’re shaking
I beg with you to pray with me
just look out the window can’t you stare
a rare flower is blooming over there
 
CHORUS
