One Shot in the Dark Songtext

von Little River Band

By Stephen Housden, Malcolm Wakeford and Graham Goble
Additional lyrics by LRB and Spencer Proffer

I was hangin' from the rafters,
Lookin' through the window,
Suddenly my ears were out in the street,
Sirens were screaming from far away,
All I can feel is the heat,
I was at home only yesterday,
Something is happening to me.

Scared of what I might find,
Frightened for the first time,
Feels just like a movie here in my room,
Sirens are screaming out in the street,
People just run everywhere,
Chaos and tension inside the heat,
Something is happening out there.

One shot in the dark,
No one heard the dogs bark,
There was one shot in the park last night,
One shot in the dark,
No one saw the blue spark,
There was one shot in the dark last night.

Hiding on the rooftop,
Staring at the sky,
Waiting for my transport,
Take me home,
Everyone pushing to get away,
I just can't believe what I see,
I was at home only yesterday,
Something is happening to me.

One shot in the dark,
No one heard the dogs bark,
There was one shot in the park last night,
One shot in the dark,
No one saw the blue spark,
One shot in the dark,
No one heard the dogs bark,
There was one shot in the park last night,
One shot in the dark,
No one saw the blue spark,
There was one shot in the dark last night,
One shot in the dark
(the dogs bark)
(in the park last night)
(did anybody see it)
(the blue spark)
(in the partk last night)
(did anybody see it)
(the dogs bark)
(in the park last night)
(everybody heard it)
