I’m Gone

[Verse 1]
There are things I will do
For a hatchet job, too
Ante up, there's a new kid in town
But it won't take long
For what's red hot and blonde
To be ashes on the ground

[Verse 2]
The Manhattan skyline
A bed and a byline
But I've come and I've cradled your face
And I won't be the last one
To commit crimes of passion
With a shootout and a chase

[Chorus]
Mmm, over and over and over and over
I'm beckoning, begging
I keep hanging on
Going once, going twice
Mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I'm gone, and I'm gone, and I'm gone

[Verse 3]
Well, nothing has changed
Since the last time I came
Got my pride and my hat in my hand
And I never sleep well
And I still kiss and tell
And I do not pay the band

[Chorus]
Mmm, over and over and over and over
I'm beckoning, begging
I keep hanging on
Going once, going twice
Mercy God, Jesus Christ
And I'm gone, I'm gone
And I'm gone, and I'm gone, I'm gone
