[Verse 1]
Every day, 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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
It was only a game when we first started
The novelty wore away and the fun departed
I can't live up anymore to the things I've spouted
And if you say you feel the same way
I'll take off like a shot in the dark

[Chorus]
I take 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, shot in the dark
[Bridge]
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)

[Verse 3]
Someone just tossed a bomb
Through the kitchen window
And in the middle of a shoo-fly pie
Mama took off like a bat out of hell

[Chorus]
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 she's off like a shot in the dark

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
We took off like a shot in the dark
We 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
[Chorus/Outro]
They took off like a shot in the dark
They split the scene like a shot in the dark
Ain't got no target, don't aim for no mark...
