Shoot Me Down Lyrics by Rattlin Bone

The Life and Death Of...

2014

FOOTSTEPS UP BEHIND ME ON A SATURDAY NIGHT
SEEMS LIKE YOU CAN'T TAKE A WALK WITHOUT TAKING A FRIGHT
I TAKE A LOOK DISCRETELY BUT I CAN'T SEE A FACE
I PUT MY BEST FOOT DOWN AND START TO INCREASE MY PACE
UNDERNEATH THE LAMPLIGHT AS I'M STARTING TO RUN
WELL! SHOOT ME DOWN IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
LOOKEE HERE MISTER I DON'T HAVE THAT MUCH DOUGH
BUT YOU CAN HAVE WHAT I'VE GOT IF YOU JUST PLEASE LET ME GO
I GIVE HIM MY WALLET
HE GIVES ME A SMILE AND SAYS…
“YOU CAN LEAVE HERE WITH YOUR LIFE, COS I APPRECIATE YOUR STYLE!”
TURN AROUND THE CORNER AND I'M STARTING TO RUN
WELL! SHOOT ME DOWN ANOTHER MAN WITH A GUN!
“I DON'T HAVE NO MONEY, I GOT NOTHING TO LOSE!'
HE SAYS “THAT MAYBE SO, BUT I QUITE LIKE YOUR SHOES
AND THAT SHIRT ON YOUR BACK WELL IT FITS YOU TOO LOOSE!
ANYWAY, I GOT THE GUN, I'LL JUST TAKE WHAT I CHOOSE!”
STANDING THERE NAKED AS HE TAKES OFF AND RUNS
I SEE SOMEONE TURN THE CORNER IT'S A…
STANDING STARK NAKED
IN A DEAD END LANE
AND I’M THINKING TO MYSELF
WELL HERE I GO AGAIN…
A POLICEMAN ARRIVES JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME
AND I'M THANKING GOD I'M SAVED FROM SUCH A PERSONAL CRIME
HIS EYES LIGHT UP
HE SAYS “HI SON!”
WELL I’M NOT SURE OF HIS INTENTION BUT THAT BASTARD'S PULLED A GUN…
SHOOT ME DOWN
IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
SHOOT ME DOWN
IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
SHOOT ME DOWN
IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
SHOOT ME DOWN
IT'S A MAN WITH A GUN
UNDERNEATH THE LAMPLIGHT AS I'M STARTING TO RUN…
