On The Green Lyrics
[Verse 1]
"Someone help me!" I heard her scream
The old man clutched her chest
Said, "Ambulance on the way, stay with me"
And Johnny called and said, "There's been a murder on the green"
Someone help her, it can't be me
Standing over her with a gun in my hand
I made my baby bleed
It's not my fault, she shot first at me
[Chorus]
And in the blink, blink, blink
Of an eye, eye, eye
Another young lover dies
[Verse 2]
So they took me to a cell
Threw away the key
And damned me right back down to hell
I said, "Well, I haven't been home in a while"
Now I got angels knocking at my door
Whispering sweet nothings
And I screamed, "I can't take anymore!"
"You're a coward, why don't you end it all?"
[Chorus]
And in the blink, blink, blink
Of an eye, eye, eye
Another young lover dies
Well, I'm not the only one
Who's guilty of committing this crime
I sing this song for the girl who met my gun
A bullet in the heart
It's just another problem I'm working on
[Bridge]
One more, alright
Hey Louie, hey Louie, take us to Chinatown
[Verse 3]
And with my last breath, I said, "Preacher, please"
To ask the undertaker
If he'll partake in some bribery

And steal my body and go and bury it on the green
Next to my gun, young Annie
Will discuss all the arguments
With friends and lover's enemies
Or maybe we were both just trigger-happy
[Chorus]
And in the blink, blink, blink
Of an eye, eye, eye
Another young lover dies
Well, I'm not the only one
Who's guilty of committing this crime
I sing this song for the girl who met my gun
A bullet in the heart
It's just another problem I'm working on
