We Both Reached For The Gun

Mr. Billy Flynn and the press conference rag

Notice how his mouth never moves

Almost

Where'd you come from?

Mississippi

And your parents?

Very wealthy

Where are they now?

Six feet under

But she was granted one more start

The Convent of The Sacred Heart

When'd you get here?

1920

How old were you?

Don't remember

Then what happened?

I met Amos and he stole my heart away

Convinced me to elope one day

Oh, you poor dear, I can't believe what you have been through

A convent girl

A runaway marriage

Now tell us, Roxie, who's Fred Casely?

My ex-boyfriend

Why'd you shoot him?

I was leaving

Was he angry?

Like a madman

Still I said, "Fred, move along"

She knew that she was doing wrong

Then describe it

He came toward me

With the pistol?

From my bureau

Did you fight him?

Like a tiger, he had strength and she had none

And yet we both reached for the gun

Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, we both

Oh, yes, we both, oh, yes, we both reached for

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes

We both reached for the gun, for the gun

Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both

Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes

They both reached for the gun, for the gun

Understandable, understandable

Yes, it's perfectly understandable

Comprehensible, comprehensible

Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible

How're you feeling?

Very frightened

Are you sorry?

Are you kidding?

What's your statement?

All I'd say is

Though my choo-choo jumped the track

I'd give my life to bring him back

And?

Stay away from

What?

Jazz and liquor

And?

And the men who

What?

Play for fun

And what?

That's the thought that

Yeah?

Came upon me...

When?

When we both reached for the gun

Understandable, understandable

Yes, it's perfectly understandable

Comprehensible, comprehensible

Not a bit reprehensible, it's so defensible

Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both

Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for

(Let me hear it) The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes

They both reached for the gun, for the gun (A little louder)

Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both

Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for (Oh, yeah)

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes

They both reached for the gun, for the gun (Now you got it)

Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both

Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun, oh, yes

They both reached for the gun, for the gun

Oh, yes, oh, yes, oh, yes, they both

Oh, yes, they both, oh, yes, they both reached for

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

Both reached for the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun

Both reached for the gun
