Lost in the shuffle
The hustle and bustle of the city
Just a sweet young girl
In a knockdown world, such a pity
Well she never worried, growin` up in a hurry
No one showed her the right
She met a man, he took her hand one nite
Out on the street all the people you meet
Wanna use you for your innocent ways
Runnin` around you`re the talk of the town today
You were so cool you never played by the rules
You thought you had it in the palm of your hand
You`re on your way to the top and they won`t let you stop
`Till you`re there, now you`re
Under the gun
Out on the run
Paying the price with your flesh and your blood
It`s bringin` you down
Livin` your life, under the gun
Under the lights, you`re feelin` the bite
Of big city days and big city nites
Now you`re alone, you wanna go home, but you can`t
You`re goin` outta your head, they`re in and outta your bed
You`re losin` sight of what you thought was the truth
They`ll string you along `til you`re tattered and torn
Then along comes somebody new, when you`re
Chorus
You were on the top but now you`re runnin` out of time
Open your eyes
Now you`re under the gun
Under the gun
Chorus
