Sisters Of Mercy - Under The Gun lyrics

rate me

You don't have to say you're sorry

To look on further down the line

Into the sun

Too close at heaven

Love is fine

But you can't hold it like a...

Two worlds apart, two together

Ends with that goodnight kiss away

One takes the hard, one the other

Kiss a way

Are you livin' for love?

Are you livin' for love?

When the road gets too tough

Is your love strong enough?

Are you livin'?

Are you livin' for love?

And do you feel your head is full of thunder

Questions never end

Empty nights alone? no wonder

It all comes back again

Are you livin' for love?

Are you livin' for love?

I've been under the gun

I lost and I've ...

Are you livin' for love?

Are you livin' for love?

I've been under the gun

I lost and I've ...

(One two three four)

Forget the many steps to Heaven

It never happened and it ain't so hard

Happiness is a loaded weapon

And a shortcut is better by far

Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts

At a million miles an hour

Abrasive wheels and molten metal

It's a semiautomatic - get in the car

Corrosive heart and frozen heat

Where the world's apart, where we could meet

Where the street fold round and the motors start

And the idiot wields the power

Where the chosen hold the highest card

On a field of honour where the ground is hard

So the highest hand is joking wild

And a house soon fold and no one stand

And I put my finger on and dialed

The tower, the moon, the gun and

Nine-nine-nine, singer down

Cloudburst and all around

The first are last, the blessed get wired

The best is yet to come

I put my finger on and fired

Heatseeking out of the sun

You can set the controls for the heart or the knees

And the meek will inherit what they damn well please

Get ahead go figure, go ahead, pull the trigger

everything under the gun
