Janis Ian - Sniper of the Heart lyrics

[Janis Ian - Sniper of the Heart lyrics]

When you take a chance
Romance is waiting for you
Lurking at the corner bar
Every soggy street, a lonely alley that means
You don't have to search too far
Just check your shadow, kiddo
You know what you really are

Every false caress, a messy ending for
Someone who'd rather jump the gun
Every lonely heart beating like a lark
Waiting for the cover to be
Broken and the games begun
It's tragic, magic
You know what you really will become

Sniper of the heart
You'll be taken long before you learn to give
Sniper of the heart
Someone's waiting for you tonight
So guard your life you may fall apart


All this waiting
Longing for the one who's right
Guard your hero's heart
You may own the night

Every passing face a racing shadow
In the marathon of lover's lane
Strangers in the night, colliding bodies
When you're blinded by the hidden flame
And every stranger's danger
Wanderlust until you're tamed

When you steal a kiss, the risk is greater
Than the given one you might have missed
Sneaking like a rat, quiet as a cat
Motion in the window there's a shadow
And a silent hit
You check your shadow, kiddo
I know what you really want to risk

Stranger of the heart
You'll be taken Long before you learn to give
Sniper of the heart
Someone's waiting for you tonight
Guard your knife you may fall apart
All this waiting
Longing for the one who's right
Guard your hero's heart
You may own the night

Stranger of the heart
Long before you learn to give
I'm waiting for you tonight, guard your knife
Sniper of the heart
Longing for the one who's right
Sniper of the heart you will own the night
