"Shotgun Messiah" lyrics - STREETWALKERS

We reach, we're on fire
Thieves in the city, bodies for hire
Junked out, dreams of desire
Shotgun messiah (shotgun)
Flames in the city, shotgun messiah.

The streets, all empty
Smoke from the subway, desolation on fire
The eyes look at the liar
Shotgun messiah (shotgun)
Nowhere to hide (from) the shotgun messiah.

No no no no no.

Kick at the hubcap, defending the night
Stoning th street lamp, offending the light
Attending the class, incendiaries alight
Your switchback (switchback) switchback (remembering the bite)
Yeah, remembering the bite.

Kick at the hubcap, defending the night
Stoning th street lamp, offending the light
Attending the class, incendiaries alight
Your switchback (switchback) switchback (remembering the bite)

We reach as a crowd
Stone cold soldiers, windowless shroud
Blackboard jungle, dreams of desire
Shotgun messiah (shotgun)
Flames in the city, shotgun messiah.

We reach Christmas Rose
When madness occurs, adopt the right pose
Pretend dreams of desire
Shotgun messiah (shotgun)
Remember the name (of the) shotgun messiah, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

(Kick at a hubcap) defending the night
Stoning th street lamp, offending the light
Attending the class, incendiaries alight
Your switchback (switchback) switchback remembering the bite, yeah yeah yeah yeah.

(Kick at a hubcap) defending the night
Stoning th street lamp, offending the light
Attending the class, incendiaries alight
Your switchback (switchback) switchback remembering the bite.
