Album - The Miller's Tale: A Tom Verlaine Anthology
Lyrics - Venus (De Milo)
(Kendall, Niven)
I have learned the golden words You watch your step That life is made for fools and the devil takes the rest I know my heart is like a fire- It burns alone I come from somewhere else where grapes of rock are grown
Call me a shot in the dark firing blind, firing wild Just like a shot in the dark You'll never see- no stopping me I'm a shot in the dark
So I live in other days I take my time I make my way down streets where no one sees the signs Can I learn the simple truth face the fact No matter where I am I can never go back 'Cos I'm a shot in the dark
I shoot out from the black I never can go back Forever changing tracks I'm a shot in the dark
