Slobberbone - Shoot You Dead lyrics

rate me

When I first saw your face, it turned my whole world upside-down

You put my heart into a headlock and through it on the ground

You stood, stomped stepped on it and kicked it all around

Like some empty can of Miller or some mangy blue-tick hound.

Yeah but a rolling heart gathers no moss, only shit and sticks and stones

So I left those days behind me, and I struck out on my own

Now it's three o'clock in the morning and you call me on the phone

You say your life has gone to horseshit and you wanna come back home

Well if you're thinkin' 'bout comin' down,

Better think again, better look around,

Don't go tryin' to mess with my head,

'Cause I got myself a gun and I'm gonna shoot you dead.

See, I got myself another but she ain't nothin' like you, dear

She don't feel the need to slap me or stick pencils in my ear

So what's she have that you ain't got to spur this little tryst?

Well there's sanity for starters, oh hell, I'll just make a list.

And, yeah, I'm getting married, so just let me clear the air

Hell no, you're not invited, but I know that you don't care

And you'll be there with guns and goofy ribbons in your hair

So I made me a big ol' sign says: "Crazy, jilted hag! Beware!"

So if you're thinkin' 'bout comin' down,

Better think again, better look around,

Don't go tryin' to mess with my head,

'Cause I got myself a gun and I'm gonna shoot you dead.

Ah ... shoot her dead, Mike

So you think I'm over-reacting, you think I've gone too far,

Well that's something I considered, 'til you tied yourself to my car

I still see you in my rear-view mirror, your hands and face all scarred

And it was just then that I realized what a loon you really are.

So, if you're thinkin' 'bout comin' down,

Better think again, better look around,

Don't go tryin' to mess with my head,

'Cause I got myself a gun and I'm gonna shoot you dead.

Yeah, if you're thinkin' 'bout comin' down,

Better think again, better look around,

Don't go tryin' to mess with my head,

'Cause I got myself a gun and I'm gonna shoot you dead.

I got myself a gun
