Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Shoot Me Down lyrics

[Verse 1] An old sentimental night You roll me at your sides Shoot me down And though there ain't no enemy here You keep me very near And shoot me down Shoot me down Your hands, they flutter up Armed and dangerous, my bu*tercup Shoot me down In flames [Verse 2] Stand back, baby, stand back and let me breathe I think I'm falling out of here I can hear the gra** grow I can hear the melting snow I can feel your breath against my ear I might just disappear Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? Yeah, wouldn't that be nice? Well, wouldn't that be nice? [Verse 3] I look into your eyes And it comes as no great surprise You're gonna shoot me down Shoot me down I know that when you smile It'll only be just a short little while Shoot me down In flames Shoot me down In flames Shoot me down In flames
