Mountain Goats - For Charles Bronson lyrics

rate me

Catch a lucky break try to make it last

Rig a blanket curtain up between the present and the past

Play my lucky number for most of what they're worth

Lie about my age right down to my last day on this earth

Set you sights on good fortune, concentrate

Pull back the hammer, try to hold the gun straight

Hit the gym each night

Stay cool and seldom speak

Keep the heart of a champion

Never let them see you're weak

And whatever they say on your page three mention

Focus on the parts that make you feel good

Be grateful for the attention

Set your sights on good fortune, concentrate

Pull back the hammer, try to hold the gun straight

Try to hold the gun straight and true and steady

Let the frame find you when the cameraman's ready

Work until I drop drift from place to place

Ehrenfeld, Pennsylvania, scratched into my face

Set your sights on good fortune, concentrate

Pull back the hammer, try to hold the gun straight

Try to hold the gun straight
