Lyrics Shotgun - Eugene McGuinness

Shotgun

All aboard Cleopatra purrs, aha
Pens and swords, the gun’s mightier
A mane of gold like a flame from a skull
Upon the wings of an angel
We’ll leave this hellhole
Little boy lost down devil’s alley
The mad Alsatian can almost taste me
Merrily merrily in terror I flee
Into the glow of traffic
Like a lava flow you’ll see me
Every time I dance
Every time I dance with you
I’ll stagger out the nightclub
Black and blue, battered and bruised
I care not
But I care not
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
All aboard Cleopatra purrs, aha
Pens and swords, the gun’s mightier
A mane of gold like a flame from a skull
Upon the wings of an angel
We’ll leave this hellhole
Mack the Knife, strolling down the street
The Surgeons in the slaughterhouse
Spice their diced meat
Merrily merrily in terror I flee
Merrily merrily in terror I flee
Every time I dance
Every time I dance with you
I’ll stagger out the nightclub
Black and blue, battered and bruised
I care not
But I care not
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
I care not
I care not
But I care not
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
Shotgun
It’s time for the shoot out
