Negotiating With A Loaded Gun

He vaults the counter with a dancer's grace

The time for counting-up has just begun

They read a history within his face

Negotiating with a loaded gun

The spring-board quivers and the colour's run

Negotiating with a loaded gun

The roe-buck scatter and the deed is done

Negotiating with a loaded gun

A radar trace beneath the Polar ice

Can flare as bright as an exploding sun

Captain's order, "You don't think twice"

Negotiating with a loaded gun

The spring-board quivers and the colour's run

Negotiating with a loaded gun

The roe-buck scatter and the deed is done

Negotiating with a loaded gun

You need to make the time, to make you play

Between the echo and the ricohet

You need to wait until the chamber spins

This dice is loaded and nobody wins

I thought your hexagrams were all re-cast

I thought your entrance only set to stun

No safety-curtain to contain the blast

Negotiating with a loaded gun
