He thought he was a winner and he thought he was a God
But he didn’t know what to say
He thought he’d have it all, if he wasn’t so small
As he told it to the judge one day
He said I’ve got to be quick cause it’s getting on a bit
And you know I’ve got to go away
Well the silence was brittle as the judge made acquittal
But forced our little man to stay

He thought he was a runner and he thought he was a man
But he didn’t know where to run
So as he broke out of prison, dressed as a woman
He wondered where to put his gun
He said “ I’ve got to get away” but as he spoke he felt the pain
Of a bullet coming out of his gun
And when the guards found him bleeding they said “come on lads, we’re leaving”
He knew he shouldn’t have put it where the sun
Don’t shine

Chorus
Don’t shine

In the moments he lay dying on the prison yard floor
He knew that he was still behind bars
As his life flashed before him, he saw the people who adored him
Waiting in the getaway car
They shouted hurry up but he just smiled and gave up
And he knew they couldn’t get very far
They thought they would be fine on a double yellow line
But the clamp would make life pretty hard

Senoritas won’t you sing to me
Old el Diablo’s tempting by the tree

He thought he was a winner and he thought he was a God
But he didn’t know what to say
He thought he’d have it all, if he wasn’t so small
As he told it to himself one day
He said I know I haven’t done it and I know I never will
And now I don’t really have the time
So I’d rather start trying and don’t you be crying
I’m bored so I’m going where the sun
Don’t shine

Chorus
Don’t shine
