Shot in the Dark

Wake up kid, it's one in a million

I never took you for the gambling kind

Now with all your cards spread out on the table

Seems the more you move the more you fall behind

 

It's no vacation, nothing to recommend

No celebration around the bend

 

It's just a shot in the dark

Go on now try and hit your mark

It's so hard to get it started shooting at a moving target

Or light a fire without any spark

Go on now try to take it, try to take your

Shot in the dark

 

So brace yourself 'cause nothing's a given

And I never knew we were on borrowed time

As the years fly by outside of an airplane

We're only piloting in pantomime

 

It's your creation, your place to play pretend

Your good vibration means to an end

 

It's just a shot in the dark

Go on now try and hit your mark

It's so hard to get it started shooting at a moving target

Or light a fire without any spark

Go on now try to take it, try to take your

Shot in the dark

 

I won't give up 'til I hit that bullseye true

I'll make the light shine through if it's the last thing I do

Oooh

 

It's just a shot in the dark

Go on now try and hit your mark

It's so hard to get it started shooting at a moving target

Or light a fire without any spark

Go on now try to take it, try to take your

Shot in the dark
