The 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 and two together

into that good night kiss away

one takes the hard

one the other

kiss a way

are you living for love?

are you living for love?

when the road gets too tough

is your love strong enough?

(are you living?)

(are you living for love?)

do you feel your head is full of thunder?

questions never end?

empty nights alone? no wonder

it all comes back again

are you living for love?

are you living for love?

I've been under the gun

I've 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

short cut is better by far

explosive bolts, ten thousand volts

at a million miles an hour

abrasive wheels and molten metals

it's a semi-automatic, get in the car

corrosive heart and frozen heat

we're worlds 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 the field of honour where the ground is hard

so the highest hand is joking wild

and the house soon fold and no-one stand

I put my finger on and dialled

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

heat-seeking, out of the sun

you can set the controls for the heart or the knees

and the meek'll inherit what they damn well please

get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger

everything under the gun
