take a chance,
romance is waiting for you
lurking at the corner bar
Every soggy street,
a lonely alley beckons,
you don't have to search too far
Just jump 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 written like a lark,
waiting for the cover to be broken
and the game's begun
It's tragic, magic,
we know what you really
will become
Sniper of the heart,
you've been taken long
before you learn to kill
Sniper at the heart
Someone's waiting for you tonight
So guard your knife
You may fall apart
Others 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 lovers' lane
Strangers in the night, colliding bodies
when you're blinded by the hidden flame
And every stranger's danger,
wonder and lust until
you're framed
When you steal a kiss,
the risk is greater than the given one
you might have missed
Thieving like a rat, quiet as a cat,
motion in the window, there's a shadow
Oh, when a silent hit,
you jump the shadow, kiddo
I know what you really
wanna risk
Stranger of the heart
You'll be taken long
before you learn to give
Stranger of the heart
Someone's waiting
for you tonight
Guard your night
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
Loving for your less
a gift
I'm waiting for you tonight
Got your knife
Sniper at the heart
Loving for the one who's right
Sniper at the heart
You will own the night
