Everyday it's the same old situation
I face the same old line of empty faces
Sit at my desk while the clock counts up my wages
Pick up my pay every Friday
And take off like a shot in the dark
I took off like a shot in the dark
I split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
'Cause I'm off like a shot in the dark
It was only a game when we first started
The novelty wore away and the fun departed
I can't live up anymore to those things I spouted
And if you say you feel the same way
I'll be off like a shot in the dark
I took off like a shot in the dark
I split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
'Cause I'm off like a shot in the dark
There's no changes going down
There's no lesson to be found
Makes no sense to hang around
If that's all there is to that
That's what she said
Someone just tossed a bomb
Through kitchen window
And in the middle of a shoo-fly pie
Mama took off like a bat out of hell
She took off like a shot in the dark
She split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
'Cause we took off like a shot in the dark
We'll be off like a shot in the dark
We'll split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
'Cause we're off like a shot in the dark
We'll be off like a shot in the dark
We'll split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark
We'll be off like a shot in the dark
