He took off with the wild keys in the early mornin' grey

Ridin' the desert for a million miles a day

And there ain't no barricades anymore

Between the mountains and the very floor

Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood

Leavin' it all in a shadow of blood (he was...)

(Chorus)

Never seen, he was

Never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

(2 x)

He took his time, when he shot him through the head

Before he hit the floor the boy was cold & dead

One day someone is gonna plead against your name

He won't mark if you win or lose, how you play the game

One day someone is gonna plead against your style

So uptight - he just can't take away your smile

He was

(Chorus)

Never seen, he was

Never heard

Passin' by like a sleepin' bird

(2 x)

Dark spot as he quizzed the neighbourhood

Leavin' it all in a shadow of blood

(Guitar solo - 16 bars)

Heartbeat's fadin' - pressure's goin' down

Skin gets red - eyes start poppin' 'round (he was...)

Chorus - with breaks

Chorus - till fade
