We were riding the neon trail
Between heaven and hell
And she acted like she loved me But I knew her too well
But that ain’t the end of the story
She thought that she’d just slide away
Don’t ever hang a man by the end of his rope
'Cuz he’s sure to explode and you know you will pay
When the hammer swings down
Like a thundering sound
Of a ship hitting ground
When the hammer swings down
Like a wild cat strikes
I’ll be hunting tonight for you
Baby, for you
Well she thought she was something special
Better than me And she danced with my heart and desire
Shattered my dreams
But that ain’t the end of the story
Like a snake, she thought she’d slide away
I was played for a fool for her emotional pleasure
Now I’m gonna strike, she’s gonna break
When the hammer swings down
Like a thundering sound
Of a ship hitting ground
When the hammer swings down
Like a wild cat strikes
I’ll be hunting tonight for you
Baby, for you, whoa!
Swing, swing, swing, swing!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
When the hammer swings down
Like a thundering sound
Of a ship hitting ground
When the hammer swings down
Like a wild cat strikes
I’ll be hunting tonight
When the hammer swings down
Like a thundering sound
Of a ship hitting ground
When the hammer swings down
Like a hand through your heart
Gonna rip you apart
When the hammer swings down
Yeah, yeah, yeah
When the hammer swings down!
