Watch it separate in two
Whatever the day wants it to
Finding out that the worst is true
Finding out that it can escape you

Slings and arrows completes the score
Always leaving, wanting more
And I try to throw it away
Silver spikes and mace

Displayed in your eyes
Fearlessness, cannot fathom;
What's on your mind?
Been there, no luck at all

Nothing left to lose
Been there, no luck at all
Nothing left to lose
I've been there

"Danger/Slow" says the sign ahead
Exhaust fumes, Thin Lizzy instead
Left all pressing cares along the road
Fifteen keys, but where do they go?

Slings and arrows completes the score
Always leaving, wanting more
And I try to throw it away
Strings that pull, strings that bend

This song and dance never ends
