Fred Ebb - We Both Reached For The Gun lyrics

[Intro (Spoken): Taye Diggs] Mr. Billy Flynn and the press conference rag Notice how his mouth never moves Almost [Verse 1: Richard Gere (Spoken: Reporters)] (Where'd you come from?) Mississippi (And your parents?) Very wealthy (Where are they now?) Six feet under But she was granted one more start The Convent of The Sacred Heart (When'd you get here?) Nineteen-twenty (How old were you?) Don't remember (Then what happened?) I met Amos And he stole my heart away Convinced me to elope one day [Spoken: Christine Baranski] Oh, you poor dear I can't believe what you have been through A convent girl! A runaway marriage! Now tell us Roxie... Who's Fred Casely? [Verse 2: Richard Gere (Spoken: Reporters)] My ex-boyfriend (Why'd you shoot him?) I was leaving (Was he angry?) Like a madman Still I said, "Fred, move along" She knew that she was doing wrong (Then describe it) He came toward me (With the pistol?) From my bureau (Did you fight him?) Like a tiger He had strength and she had none And yet we both reached for the gun [Chorus 1: Richard Gere (Reporters)] Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, we both Oh, yes, we both, oh, yes, we both reached for The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes We both reached for the gun, for the gun (Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both) (Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for) (The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes) (They both reached for the gun, for the gun) [Bridge: Richard Gere] Understandable, understandable Yes, it's perfectly understandable Comprehensible, comprehensible Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible [Verse 2: Richard Gere (Reporters)] (How're you feeling?) Very frightened (Are you sorry?) Are you kidding? (What's your statement?) All I'd say is Though my choo-choo jumped the track I'd give my life to bring him back (And?) Stay away from... (What?) Jazz and liquor... (And?) And the men who... (What?) Play for fun... (And what?) That's the thought that... (Yeah) Came upon me... (When?) When we both reached for the gun! [Bridge: Richard Gere & Christine Baranski (Christine Baranski)] (Understandable, understandable) Yes, it's perfectly understandable Comprehensible, comprehensible Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible [Chorus 2: Reporters (Spoken: Richard Gere)] Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for (Let me hear it) The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes They both reached for the gun, for the gun (A little louder) Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for (Oh, yeah!) The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes They both reached for the gun, for the gun (Now you got it!)

(The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun) (The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun) (The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun) (The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun) (Both reached for the gun!)
