Take a breath, take it deep, Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps, Take a gun, and count to three
I’m sweating now, moving slow, No time to think, my turn to go

And you can see my heart beating, You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

Say a prayer to yourself, He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he’s here means he’s never lost
