The sky is gray but the sun's turned black
Should have known I'd never get her back
Feels like I'm flying through a barrage of flack
Is life about just how the cards are stacked?

Escaping in the darkness in the light of the moon
If I dare think again the pain will come soon
How did I get here I'm lost and doomed

Trying to navigate through this persistent gloom,

Feeling like an old man so tired and gray
Love will seduce you and make you pay
Should I have gone when I should have stayed?
Was that why my little vixen strayed?

Thought I was a lady's man once upon a time
Now stranded by all and I'm not worth a dime
An unfaithful partner who didn't think it was a crime
Remembering a voice as sweet as a wind chime,

The sky is gray but the sun's turned black
Thought about getting my baby back
But the betrayal felt more like a heart attack
Seems my life has gotten a little off track,

Go ahead and shoot Mister Sniper and make it so clean
The most fun I've had since I was a teen
It'll soften the blow of love gone mean
Hearing the report from the muzzle how serene.
