Shoot You Dead Lyrics - Singles - Slobberbone

When I first saw your face 

It turned my whole world upside down 

You put my heart into a headlock 

And you threw it on the ground 

You stood and stomped, you stepped on it 

Yet 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 horse shit 

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 

Because 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 gettin' married 

Just let me clear the air 

Hell no, you're not invited 

But I know that you don't care 

'Cause 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 

Because I got myself a gun 

And I'm gonna shoot you dead 

Ah, shoot her dead, Mike 

You think I'm overreacting 

And 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 

Because 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 

Because I got myself a gun 

And I'm gonna shoot you dead 

I got myself a gun 

And I'm gonna shoot you dead 

Yeah, I got myself a gun 

And I'm gonna shoot you dead
